Internship Drug Product Modeling & Simulation

Job Description Summary

Job Description

Your responsibilities:

• Integrate the theoretical Capped Drucker-Prager model into a real-world industrial setting at Novartis.
• Adapt the model using FEM tools (e.g. Comsol Multiphysics) to simulate the physical phenomena occurring during the tablet compaction process, including the analysis of mechanical stresses and thermal effects.
• Calibrate the model parameters to match empirical data from the production environment.
• Evaluate if the model accurately reflects the behavior of the compaction machinery and the properties of the tablets.
• Prepare and present research findings in a final presentation and report.

Minimum requirements:

• BSc/MSc degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical/Mechanical/Process engineering, Material Sicences or similar.
• Knowledge of Capped Drucker-Prager model.
• Good communication skills (English) and data visualization skills.
