Industrial Flow Chemistry Bootcamp
The Industrial Flow Chemistry Bootcamp: From Microreactor Fundamentals to Intelligent Process Control is an intensive, application‑driven training program designed specifically for mid‑level chemists and chemical engineers working in the API and chemical manufacturing sectors. This bootcamp equips participants with the scientific depth and practical skills needed to confidently adopt continuous processing in real industrial environments.
The program builds a strong foundation in microreactor technology, mixing science, residence time distribution (RTD), slurry behaviour, and the handling of fast or highly exothermic reactions. Participants will also explore advanced chemistries-including catalysis, photochemistry, electrochemistry, mechanochemistry, and gas‑phase transformations-and understand how these benefit from continuous flow operation.
Led by Prof. Marcus Baumann, the morning theory session is followed by live demonstrations led by experts from Amar Flow Laboratory on mixing analysis, slurry handling, reactor characterisation, and AI‑enabled optimisation. The bootcamp emphasises real‑world decision‑making, scale‑up considerations, and data‑driven process improvement. Participants are required to bring a laptop for hands‑on calculations and exercises.
Please note that photography/videography of the scientific contents presented at the bootcamp is strictly prohibited. We will share the presentations with the delegates only if provided and allowed by the respective speakers.

Marcus Baumann's Biography
Dr Marcus Baumann graduated from Philipps-University Marburg (Germany) in 2007 before moving to Cambridge/UK to study for a PhD with Prof. Steven V. Ley FRS. On completion of his PhD in 2010 he was awarded a Feodor-Lynen postdoctoral fellowship by the Humboldt foundation allowing him to join the research group of Prof. Larry E. Overman at the University of California in Irvine. After two years in Irvine, he returned to the UK to work with Prof. Ian R. Baxendale at the University of Durham applying flow methodology to the scaled synthesis of biologically relevant chemical entities.
In 2017 he became an Assistant Professor for Continuous Flow Chemistry at University College Dublin, where his group’s efforts centre around the development of new continuous flow methods applied to the effective generation of various target molecules. In 2021 he was a Visiting Professor at the University of Toronto. Current areas of interest include process development, reaction scale-up, photochemistry, telescoped multi-step sequences and flow biocatalysis.
Vishwanath H. Dalvi's Biography
Dr. Vishwanath H. Dalvi is the R. A. Mashelkar Assistant Professor at the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai. His vision is for India to be a resilient, secure, knowledge based economy. His research focuses on sustainable development and economic empowerment. To that end, he works on developing technologies that are imperatively decentralized e.g. micro CSP power generation, waterless toilets, novel biogas generators and open source process engineering tools. He is known to be an excellent teacher having won awards for teaching both from the Institute of Chemical Technology and from the All India Council of Technical Education.
