Prof Phil Threlfall-Holmes
Founder of TH Collaborative Innovation.
Visiting Professor in Mechanical Engineering at The University of Leeds
My work links formulation, product microstructure, rheology and spray performance. Before starting THCi in 2014, I spent 18years with ICI and AkzoNobel developing products and processes, including spray drying, spray freezing and freeze drying, spray painting, and atomiser and lab characterisation instrument development. Although my current role is largely experimental spray characterisation, rheology, data analysis and interpretation; instrument mechanical and elecrtrical hardware design and software development and integration, I originally graduated in Chemical Engineering from Christ's College, The University of Cambridge. My PhD in Spray dryer Modelling was done part-time, whilst having the full time day job at ICI.
Why Collaborative Innovation? Because no one person knows all the answers. I can assist you in your product development by working with you and your team to broaden and deepen the expertise of your own team. I can also connect you with my network of independent professionals and academics with complementary knowledge.
