I am a pharmacist and a final-year PhD Student within the CD Laboratory for Advanced Crystal Engineering Strategies in Drug Development. My work is focused on the solid-state forms of pharmaceutically relevant molecules in collaboration with Sandoz (Kundl, Austria). Within my PhD research, I aim to understand, characterize, and develop solid forms (including polymorphs, solvates and hydrates, salts, cocrystals, and related multicomponent systems) to support the development of pharmaceutical materials.
