Patrick Spicer is an Associate Professor in ºÚÁÏÍø´óʼǒs School of Chemical Engineering. He is Research Director for Chemical Engineering and is the lead of the new Chemical Product Engineering stream as well as the Fluids Foundry Chemical Engineering Makerspace.

He directs the Complex Fluids group, a team that works with industry and academic partners to design smart fluids with unique response and flow behaviour linked directly to product and material performance. His lab at ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç combines broad microscopy, microfluidic, and rheology capability that can be used to understand the behaviour of fluid coatings, films, and other complex products.

Before ºÚÁÏÍø´óʼÇ, Pat ran a central engineering research department for the Procter & Gamble Company in the US for 15 years. His group developed new product and process technology there for all of P&G’s billion-dollar brands. He is co-inventor of P&G’s $30 million cubosome patent portfolio that Children’s Hospital Cincinnati used to develop the first product to prevent life-threatening infections in premature infants. He is also the inventor of P&G's recently-patented responsive droplet technology.
