Marcial Gonzalez works on the mechanics and processing of granular and particulate materials, with a strong focus on pharmaceutical manufacturing such as tablet compression, dissolution, and continuous production systems. His work combines computational modeling (discrete element and reduced-order models) with experimental characterization of powders, composites, and elastomer nanocomposites. Prospective students would likely engage in modeling and lab-scale experiments bridging mechanical engineering, materials science, and pharmaceutical process engineering.
