Gayathri Manoj

PhD Student, University of Leeds / Diamond Light Source

Gayathri is a second year PhD student at the University of Leeds, working in collaboration with Diamond Light Source. Her research focuses on the crystallisation and structural evolution of molecular cocrystal systems.She uses synchrotron based X-ray techniques, including total scattering and powder diffraction, alongside Raman spectroscopy to study in situ crystallisation behaviour and associated molecular changes. Her work is aimed at developing integrated experimental and data analysis approaches to better understand crystallisation mechanisms and structure formation in multicomponent systems.
