Dr. Rupanjali Prasad
I am a chemical engineer interested in crystallization science and how molecular-level interactions govern solid particle attributes and performance in pharmaceutical systems.
My work integrates experiments with molecular modeling and process analytical technology (PAT) to understand and control particulate processes across academic and industrial contexts.
