Research summary
AI-generated

Kensaku Matsunami works on modeling and improving how pharmaceutical tablets and drug ingredients are manufactured, particularly using continuous (rather than traditional batch) production methods. His work combines mathematical and computational models (mechanistic, data-driven, and hybrid approaches) with real manufacturing processes like wet granulation, milling, and tablet compression to predict and optimize product quality. This research aims to make drug manufacturing more efficient, predictable, and easier to scale up or monitor in real time.
