Profile
Prof Kunn HADINOTO
Co-Principal Investigator
Asst Prof Kunn Hadinoto joined NTU's School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering in 2007. He received his Bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Washington (Seattle, USA) in 2000 and his doctoral degree also in Chemical Engineering in 2004 from Purdue University (West Lafayette, USA). His research interests are in the area of particle technology with an emphasis on its applications in sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing, inhaled delivery of nanomedicines, and nutraceutical food product processing.
Asst Prod Kunn Hadinoto was a Co-I for the C4T programme.
