Research interests: 

• structural studies based on X-ray diffraction,
• studies of electron density distribution based on high-resolution experimental data and theoretical calculations,
• investigations into the relationship between crystal structure and packing in the hierarchical organization of crystal structures, for biologically active and fluorescent compounds,
• characterization of hydrogen bonds and non-covalent interactions,
• characterization of materials based on powder X-ray diffraction,
• investigation of the complexing ability of cyclodextrins.

Implementation of the 2021 Interdisciplinary Research Grant, funded under a subsidy from 2022 to 2023.  Project title: “Investigation of structure-fluorescence relationships in pyrazole derivatives”.
