Ben is the Process Development and Scale Up Team Leader within Development Services at Kindeva. His experience spans product development and optimisation of next generation low GWP propellant products through to manufacturing scale up and pressure filling of pMDIs. His early work at Kindeva focussed on evaluating and developing current and new inhalation formulations, technologies and device platforms. He also developed new test methodologies and novel apparatus to measure, understand and enable pMDI product development.
Ben is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer and a member of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers. Prior to joining Kindeva, Ben gained a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Loughborough University followed by a PhD researching pMDI atomisation using non-contact laser based and high-speed imaging techniques for investigation of pMDI internal two-phase fluid flows, atomisation and spray plume dynamics.
Ben’s goal is to delve deeper into the science of pMDIs, to understand and improve pMDI drug delivery and efficiency to enable new pMDI products and ultimately improved therapeutic outcomes.
