Biography Dr. Mingzhong Li is a Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Technologies in the School of Pharmacy at De Montfort University. He was awarded a PhD in Control and Instrumentation Engineering in 1998 from Northeastern University in China. He had been working as a post doctoral researcher at a number of world leading universities: University of Oxford, Heriot-Watt University and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He specialises in the development of on-line process monitoring and control system for pharmaceutical processes, such as crystallisation, fluidised bed dryer and freeze-drying processes. He is also interested in developing analytical methods to retrieve particle size distribution from measurements by different instruments: UV-vis spectroscopy, ultrasound, image analysis and Focused-bean reflection measurement (FBRM). He has published over 60 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and national/international conferences
