The Society of Beauty Chemists (SCC) has introduced an academic collaboration effort with the College of Miami’s School of Engineering whereby the {industry} group “will work with the college to supply quick programs associated to numerous elements of beauty science and product growth,” confirmed a current press launch.
The course follows final summer time’s launch of a “Grasp of Science in Product Design program provided collectively by the college’s Division of Chemical, Environmental and Supplies Engineering, and the Division of Industrial and Programs Engineering” by the College of Miami, which was designed “to boost product design abilities and competencies in three excessive progress industrial sectors, [including] Cosmetics & Client Merchandise,” the discharge mentioned.
In regards to the course
On the finish of this month, the primary course within the schooling collaborating is scheduled to happen on the College of Miami’s Coral Gables, Florida campus. Entitled Excessive Throughput Formulation and Superior Prototype Testing, the two-day course can be instructed by Samiul Amin, Ph.D., Professor of Apply on the College of Miami, Chemical, Environmental and Supplies Engineering Division.
Dr Amin’s skilled background consists of years of relevant {industry} expertise together with “working in Engineering, R&D, and Innovation Administration for industry-leading cosmetics corporations like Unilever and L’Oréal,” shared the discharge. In regards to the course, Dr Amin shared that “when it comes to the longer term, the cosmetics and private care {industry} goes to begin trying in direction of robotics, automation, AI, and machine studying to hurry up the method of prototype growth.”
Due to this fact, Dr Amin defined additional, persevering with schooling via industry-specific applications resembling Excessive Throughput Formulation and Superior Prototype Testing will improve understanding of those developments, that are designed to “release time for formulators and folks working in R&D to successfully and effectively design new merchandise, functions, and efficiency advantages.”
The deliberate course “will spotlight automation developments and marry them with superior characterization and prototype growth to permit individuals to grasp the interaction of science and know-how,” shared the discharge, and “throughout the laboratory parts of the course, attendees will be taught automated formulation methods by way of a Chemspeed automation platform, in addition to superior characterization strategies utilizing a excessive sensitivity rheometer (Netszch), dynamic mild scattering, and an optical tensiometer,” the discharge confirmed.
Different instructional alternatives
Along with the upcoming Excessive Throughput Formulation and Superior Prototype Testing course collaboration with the College of Miami, “the SCC can be providing a web-based, on-demand model of its fashionable Fundamentals of Surfactants, Emulsions, and Polymers for Beauty Formulations course, additionally instructed by Professor Amin, and that includes a Stay Teacher Q&A session on March 18, 2024,” the discharge defined. This feature gives {industry} professionals a further alternative to proceed their schooling in an simply accessible format.
Transferring ahead, “The SCC is worked up to collaborate with the College of Miami in demonstrating how digital applied sciences are advancing the science of cosmetics and private care,” mentioned Erica L. O’Grady, CAE, Chief Government Officer of the Society within the group’s press launch. “We’re persevering with to construct on the robust basis within the area established by our Florida Chapter,” she concluded, “by way of their common instructional conferences and bi-annual Sunscreen Symposium.”
