Résumé

Project Description

My research focuses on crystallization of organic molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients

• Developed an air-segmented drop-based microfluidic system to study crystallization of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
• Designed and performed experiments to understand the anti-nucleation properties and physicochemical interaction of bile surfactant with supersaturated active pharmaceutical ingredients.
