Mo Jiang is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Life Science Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University. Mo received a Ph.D. in chemical engineering in 2015 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) then became a postdoctoral associate/fellow, both with Prof. Richard D. Braatz.
Mo's main research interests are in innovative manufacturing and separation processes for uniform (bio)pharmaceutical particles that employ such strategies as controlled micromixing, multiphase flow, and ultrasound. His research has been recognized by AIChE, ACS, and AAPS student awards. He received a B.S. in biology in 2006 from Tsinghua University and an M.S. in chemical engineering in 2008 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Before joining the Ph.D. program at MIT, he interned at Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Abbott Laboratories (now AbbVie), where he optimized solid forms for multiple compounds and designed dual-impinging-jet micromixers to continuously manufacture crystals of desired properties.
