Overview

Join the Particle Technology Special Interest Group for an insightful webinar delivered by Professor Markus Kraft, recipient of the 2026 Geldart Medal, in recognition of his pioneering work in the combustion synthesis of organic and inorganic nanostructured particles. His research has had broad impact both within and beyond the particle technology community and has seen wide industry adoption. The webinar will be followed by the annual meeting.

• 08:00–09:00 – Professor Markus Kraft's webinar
• 09:00–10:00 – Chair's report on PTSIG activities carried out in the last year, and what lies ahead for the. Any elected positions will then be confirmed.

There will be time for all members to ask any questions and provide input, such as recommended activities for PTSIG to consider in the future.

Speakers

Markus Kraft, Professor of Chemical Engineering, Cambridge

Markus is a Fellow of Churchill College Cambridge and Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology. He is the director of CARES, the Singapore-Cambridge CREATE Research Centre, and Principal Investigator of C4T the “Cambridge Centre for Carbon Reduction in Chemical Technology”, which is a CARES research programme. 

He has a strong interest in the area of computational modelling and optimisation targeted towards developing carbon abatement and emissions reduction technologies for the automotive, power and chemical industries. Together with his research team he has also contributed significantly towards the detailed modelling of combustion synthesis of organic and inorganic nanoparticles and worked on spray drying and granulation of fine powders.
