Overview
Personal profile
Pharmaceutical Chemist and PhD in Chemistry with expertise at the interface of pharmaceutical technology and materials science. Experienced in the study of adsorption of pharmaceutical compounds on activated carbon, with a strong focus on the thermodynamic characterization of adsorbate–adsorbent interactions and their modulation by pH and ionic strength. Skilled in the physicochemical characterization of materials using techniques such as XRD, SEM-EDX, XPS, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. Proficient in analytical and quantification methods, including atomic spectrometry and UV-Vis spectroscopy. My work integrates surface chemistry, material characterization, and pharmaceutical analysis to understand and optimize interactions between materials and drug molecules.
