The CrySysT team

Zoltán K. Nagy (Zoli)


Prof. Nagy joined Purdue University in 2012 as Professor of Chemical Engineering in the School of Chemical Engineering. Prior to this he was a
Professor of Process Systems Engineering at Loughborough University, UK.

His research interest includes pharmaceutical engineering, crystallization systems engineering, modelling, optimization and control of complex process systems, process analytical technologies, systems pedagogy and technology enhanced learning.

He is associate editor for numerous international journals in the areas of process control and crystallization and received awards from IFAC, IEEE, IChemE, ACS, Royal Academy of Engineering, among others, for his work in advanced control, crystallization and his educational achievements.

Botond Szilágyi (Boti)


Botond Szilagyi earned his PhD from the Babes-Bolyai University in 2016. After the graduation, he worked in the group of Dr. Nagy as a post-doctoral research associate for more than four years. Currently he is a Research Fellow at Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

His research interest is the process engineering, especially the population balance based modelling, optimization and control of cooling crystallizers. He co-authored a book, a book chapter and over 30 research papers.

Botond received awards and scholarships from EFCE, Hungarian Chemical Society, World Federation of Scientists and the European Commission (MSCA Individual Fellowship).
