Baltej Ludher, chemical engineering senior, received the $20,000 University Co-op George H. Mitchell grand prize award for his research paper “Novel Methods for Producing Micron and Sub-micron Pharmaceutical Particles for Pulmonary and Oral Delivery.” This award rewards undergraduate students who have demonstrated unparalleled dedication and achievement in their fields of study. Ludher’s research has the potential to radically advance drug delivery, as well as disease diagnosis and treatment. He has helped develop two novel methods for producing high-surface area therapeutic and pharmaceutical particles: thin-film freezing and pH flocculation.
