Dr Dipak K Sarker

Dipak Sarker is best defined as a physicist and material scientist with an interest in processing, manufacturing and fabrication of novel and commercial products. He developed this interests from his studies in chemistry, engineering and physics and large company employment experience, with manufacturing being the common link through much of his teaching, research, consultancy and fundamental scientific interests. At the heart of his work is a profound interest in nanotechnology, nanomaterials and the nano-scale. He works alongside designers, process specialists, formulators and theoreticians to achieve the desired research outcome, or profile of concept and commercial products and routes to manufacture. In an academic context, he works routinely with chemists, chemical engineers, clinicians, biologists, pharmacists, engineers and physicists but also in terms of commercial activity alongside business advisors and legal experts.

He sits on a number of scientific journal editorial boards, acts as a reviewer for about 20 scientific periodicals and 3-4 funding bodies, has written many scientific articles, presented his work internationally and nationally and written several books and a number of book chapters. At any point in time he has a number of visiting scientists, post-docs and doctoral researchers under his supervision and is the academic lead in a number of collaborative industrial projects.

How I like to teach

I am an academic at the University of Brighton having previously work at the ÉNS in Paris, INRA in France, The Max-Plank Institute in Berlin and the University of East Anglia. I have expertise in subjects ranging from industrial engineering to cell biophysics and on to methods of chemical analysis. I teach aspects of industrial manufacture, physics, physical chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutical technology, analytical chemistry, medicine formulation, radiochemistry, mathematics and statistics, biotechnology, quality control, drug product regulation and product licensing.

I try to engage students by making my lectures interactive, animated and frequently make use of models, props and demonstrations. I think my students think they learn best when they are shown how to access the best information and are taught the study skills needed to achieve this. I expect all students to do their best and use both natural and acquired skills to find the best route to solve a problem. I use blended learning, tutorials and seminars, flipped learning, modern educational psychology, innovative pedagogic practices, diverse media and published material, current educational and research information and real-world examples to populate my teaching, demonstrate principles, and serve as a bank of resources for students and my enabling my research. I think I am a masterly teacher as I am thorough and rigorous with high expectations, yet make students learn for themselves to empower themselves to be successful in their learning.

I am a fellow of the Higher Education Academy and that means I have demonstrated a depth of skill and innovative practices in educating students. I have also taught and examined across countries and institutions and at all levels from batchelor’s to doctoral level.

As a boy I loved trying to understand how and what makes the simplest things 'tick'. In my research I love understanding how things work, I take a ‘systems approach’ as a physicist and chemist and therefore, want to know what they are made of and how they might be measured or improved on. Lecture topics generally cover means of process, material or molecule characterisation, and also cover mechanism of action, constitution and aspects of industrial fabrication.

My research interests

I have a longstanding interest in nanoscience, nanotechnology and nanophysics, soft-matter self-assemblies and coarse dispersions, including colloidal drug delivery systems and the surface adsorption of functionalising polymers. I study vaccine and particulate drug delivery systems in considerable depth. I work routinely with biosurfactants (such as proteins and peptides or gums), natural polymers, sustainable materials and synthetically modified materials.

I am interested in recycling and re-exploitation of spent and soiled or spent materials or polluted environments. I work with simple and complex foams and thin liquid films (foam lamellae). These structures relate to the quasi-2D-architectures created for a range of purposes; as means of sensing, synthesis and in their own right, to study processes such as statistical mechanics and energetics. As a nanotechnologist I also work in the field of miniaturised analytical systems – microfluidics, microarrays, sensors, diagnostic systems, and biosensors. I work in the context of product and process design and investigations associated with engineering and manufacturing process modelling. I work with the mechanics and rheology of a range of materials.

I am interested in 'invention' and equipment fabrication and design. I am fascinated by physical and engineering applications of mesophase materials (liquid crystals), coarse and colloidal dispersions, and complex fluids, such as ionic liquids, thermotropic materials, gels and emulsions.

Biography

I started off my academic life as a chemist and chemical engineer and engineer, before completing a PhD in physics in 1995. After several years of post-doctoral and lecturing work at universities and research institutes in France and Germany I took up a position in the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of Brighton. My academic activities at Brighton cover aspects of pharmaceutical formulation and processing, physics, physical chemistry, chemical and pharmaceutical analysis and specifically areas of polymer, surface and colloid science expertise (nanotechnology) developed during doctoral and post-doctoral training. After graduation and during post-doctoral work I worked for the Swiss pharmaceutical company, Hoffman-La Roche as a chemist and the renowned pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline as a validation and quality assurance expert.
