My daily work deals with the crystallization and crystallography of a wide range of organic and (metallo)organic compounds. My research focuses on the design of multicomponent molecular materials (i.e. pharmaceutical cocrystals) in order to overcome biopharmaceutical limitations and drug manufacturing constraints. I also have a particular interest in the development of experimental/virtual cocrystal screening methods as well as crystallization methods using supramolecular gels.
