BACG2026 Speaker Profile

Kate McPherson

PhD Student, CMAC, University of Strathclyde

I am a second year PhD researcher as part of the CEDAR CDT at CMAC, within the University of Strathclyde. As a part of CEDAR, my research includes the application of cyber-physical systems within pharmaceutical manufacturing, focusing on the scale-up of crystallisation through digital tools, such as population balance modelling. By developing a modelling workflow to scale crystallisation from the 5 mL to 1 L+ scales, this project aims to create a more efficient scale-up process.
