Dr Rana Sanii

Bio

Rana Sanii is currently a Ph.D. student in the Crystal Engineering Research Group at the University of Limerick, Ireland, supervised by Michael Zaworotko. Rana received her bachelor’s degree in applied chemistry in 2010 and completed her masters in physical chemistry in 2013. Current research interests involve synthesis and characterisation of novel molecules in solid-state using Cocrystal Controlled Solid-State Synthesis (C3S3) as well as Multi-component Pharmaceutical Materials (MPMs) such as cocrystals, hydrates and ionic cocrystals.
