Associate Professor
University of Puerto Rico
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Dr. Stelzer received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany, in 2005 and 2009, respectively. He stayed on as an Assistant Professor (Habilitand) before joining the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT for a two-year sabbatical leave (2012-2014). At the end of 2014, he took the unique opportunity to combine his professional goal of being a professor with his desire to live in Puerto Rico as part of a dual career couple. As Assistant/Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Technology at the University of Puerto Rico, he formed the collaborative Crystallization Design Institute. His research focuses on integrated end-to-end, continuous manufacturing for process intensification with an emphasis on crystallization, purification/separation processes, and materials science of polymer-based crystalline systems for personalized drug delivery. At the UPR he leads several multi-PI, multi-institutional projects on these research topics. Currently, he holds a standing Visiting Professor position at MIT and an Honorary Associate position at the Materials Research Science & Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He also serves as a consultant and collaborator for the private sector. Thus far, he has authored over 60 publications and book contributions and is an inventor on 20 patents/applications.
