Mark-John Bruwer

Mark-John Bruwer serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at McMaster University, specializing in chemometrics and multivariate statistical methods for industrial process optimization. His work bridges academic research with practical applications across pharmaceutical, bioprocessing, food, and steel industries.

Research interests prominently feature Process Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, and Chemometrics, with methodological expertise in latent variable modeling, principal component analysis, and model predictive control. Key contributions include pharmaceutical process scale-up (roller compaction, tablet manufacturing), bioprocess modeling for cell culture prediction, steel industry carbon endpoint forecasting, and food texture analysis through sensory-mechanical data fusion.

Analysis of his 15 publications (2006-2016) reveals consistent application of multivariate techniques to quality assurance and process control challenges. His most recent work focuses on raw material specification frameworks for risk minimization in pharmaceutical manufacturing, while earlier research established foundational methods for latent variable MPC in batch processes and EIT regularization in biomedical imaging.
