Sofia’s
current research focuses on the development of computer-based decision-support
models that capture the process-business interface of biopharmaceutical
manufacture. She works in the Decisional Tools research group lead by Dr.
Suzanne Farid.
Sofia has extensive experience in the development of simulation models and
optimisation algorithms for improving the efficiency of assembly line
production systems and since she has joined UCL she is bringing that experience
into the biopharmaceutical production area.
As part of the research team of the Centre she contributes to the development
of a decision-support optimisation software tool for the bioprocessing sector
that can locate the most cost-effective combination of process parameters,
process sequence, formulation method and facility design under uncertainty.
She also collaborates on a TSB Technology Programme which is enabling research
into decision-support tools that help devise successful business models for
novel regenerative medicine therapies such as stem cells and cell-based vaccine
cancer therapy.
