Dr. Ibrahim Sendijarevic
Dr. Ibrahim Sendijarevic holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and a B.S.E. degree in Chemical Engineering from The University of Michigan, Ann-Arbor. He has co-authored 20 papers in the field of polymers and 3 US patents. His research interest includes structure-property relationships of highly branched dendritic polymers and the effects of the degree of branching and end-groups functionality on the inter-molecular and intra-molecular interactions of dendritic molecules. He also has experience in determining the properties of dendritic molecules in blends with linear polymers and in developing applications for dendritic materials as processing additives and surface modifiers. As an associate engineer at Merck & Co. he worked on the scale-up of organic chemistry processes for production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. In this effort he worked on the scale-up efforts of dozens of chemical compounds and amongst other achievements was responsible for the development of a novel impurity rejection method and the development of a novel crystallization process. At Troy Polymers Inc., he works on the commercialization of the in-house technologies and on the development of TPI’s scale-up and processing capabilities. He is a frequent reviewer for Journal of American Chemical Science.
Author of 20 technical papers and 3 US patents. He
holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from University of
Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and a B.S.E. degree in
Chemical Engineering from The University of Michigan,
Ann-Arbor. His Ph.D. thesis work focused on the study
of structure-property relationships of highly branched
dendritic polymers determining the effects of the degree
of branching and end-groups functionality on the inter-molecular and
intra-molecular
interactions of dendritic molecules. He explored the
properties of dendritic molecules in blends with linear
polymers and in application of dendritic polymers as
processing additives and surface modifiers. As an
associate engineer at Merck & Co he worked on the
scale-up of organic chemistry processes for production
of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. In this effort he
worked on the scale-up efforts of dozens of chemical
steps and amongst other achievements was responsible for
the development of a novel impurity rejection method and
the development of a novel crystallization process.
