Baltej Ludher, chemical engineering senior, received the $20,000 University Co-op
George H. Mitchell grand prize award for his research paper “Novel Methods for
Producing Micron and Sub-micron Pharmaceutical Particles for Pulmonary and Oral
Delivery.” This award rewards undergraduate students who have demonstrated
unparalleled dedication and achievement in their fields of study. Ludher’s
research has the potential to radically advance drug delivery, as well as disease
diagnosis and treatment. He has helped develop two novel methods for producing high-
surface area therapeutic and pharmaceutical particles: thin-film freezing and pH
flocculation.
