Research Program
The research focus of my group is within the
field of Pharmaceutical Materials Science. Current
projects seek to better understand specific physico-chemical
and structural properties of pharmaceutically
relevant materials and their impact on both large-scale
manufacturing and final dosage form performance.
Ongoing research is centered on mechanically
activated solid state phase transformations of
APIs and excipients, in which the potential for
high-shear induction of polymorphism and amorphization
is investigated. Key experimental techniques
include powder X-ray diffractometry, thermal
gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry,
and organic small molecule crystal structure
solution and analysis.
