Wei-Lee Wu works on crystallization engineering, focusing on how to design, monitor, and scale up processes that turn dissolved chemicals (like pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds) into solid crystals with specific size and shape properties. This involves building mathematical models, using sensors and image analysis to track crystal formation in real time, and developing automated lab platforms to test these processes. Students in this area would likely work at the intersection of chemical engineering, process design, and data analysis tools for manufacturing.
