“The course that I took from Dr. Machado was an integral part of the changes made in our company about the way we develop and scale up products… The lectures went smoothly and were very clear, and the feedback from the participating engineers was ‘above expectations.’”

“Like any great teacher, Dr. Machado can take difficult concepts and convey them for all to understand. His fundamental knowledge of scale-up and scale-down is unique and this knowledge, combined with his teaching skills, make his course invaluable to any development group. If you need to develop a better process or trouble-shoot an existing one, you’ve come to the right place.”

“[Dr. Machado]‘s Fundamentals of Scale-Up course is masterful! Ray is an excellent (and entertaining) teacher of chemical engineering principles.In his course, he covers many practical examples of how to ensure successful scale-up, what scale-up rules apply, and guides us on how to solve the problems ourselves. We highly recommend his course to engineers and chemists assigned to scaling up chemical processes.”

Ray has a unique passion for scale-up and a genuine desire to instruct and educate the next generation of scientists and engineers.  Ray has a great blend of humor and insight that keeps the course engaging and relevant.  He incorporates concepts that are not extensively covered in typical chemistry and chemical engineering degree programs.  Every lesson comes from a real industrial problem; there is no cherry-picking from academic examples with little industrial relevance. The depth of the content is terrific, and the pace is very appropriate for more than a cursory introduction into the field of scale-up. Ray offers practical tips on how to execute a program through collaboration and communication in addition to the technical subject matter.  Highly recommended for both new and experienced scientists and engineers.
