Research summary
AI-generated

Changquan Calvin Sun studies the physical and mechanical properties of pharmaceutical materials, particularly how the structure of drug crystals and powders affects their ability to be compressed into tablets. His work combines crystallography, materials science, and pharmaceutical formulation to understand and predict tablet quality, strength, and manufacturability. This research is aimed at improving how solid drug products (like tablets) are designed and produced.
