Chris Rielly

Professor of Chemical Engineering and Dean of the School of Aeronautical, Automotive, Chemical and Materials Engineering

Loughborough University

Chris Rielly has 30 years of experience in experimental and computational fluid mechanics, applied to multi-phase flow, mixing and control of chemical reactors, fermenters and crystallisers.

His work focusses on monitoring and control of continuous flow crystallisers, to achieve a target size distribution and morphology of a particulate product, using population balance models, direct nucleation control and model predictive control. He has worked on several CMAC research grants, such the Centre for Innovative Manufacturing, DTC, ICT CMAC, Future Manufacturing Hub and ARTICULAR.
