Research Interests

Open to PhD applications in the field of

• Investigation phase behaviours of drug-polymer blends within hot-melt extrusion
• The thermodynamic and kinetic understanding of drug-polymer binary systems
• Development of a nanomedicine for visceral leishmanaiasis

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
