  Research Interest

Our research interests include the studies on hydrogen bonding, polymorphism, crystal growth and mechanical properties of crystalline organic small molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Techniques usually employed in our studies are x-ray diffraction, TGA, DSC, hot-stage microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and nanoindentation.

The ultimate aim of our study is to apply the "Crystal Engineering" rules to (1) understand and predict the self-assembly of organic solids, including some simple bio-molecules in the living systems, and (2) improve the physicochemical properties of pharmaceutical materials.
