Research Interests
Molecular modelling, continuous manufacturing, smart analytics, nanomedicine, amorphous solid dispersion, supersonic spray drying, thermodynamic modelling, non-classic nucleation, neglected tropical diseases.
Public outreach & key achievements
- The research is mainly industrial orientated and developed tools are already implemented by the R&D department in some of the largest pharmaceutical companies, for example a novel screening method based on thermodynamic principles has been highly cited in this field: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/mp300386v
