Jan Ornik

Dr. Jan Ornik is a Researcher at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz-IPHT) within the Research Department's Spectroscopy / Imaging Working Group, specializing in Field-Resolved Optical Precision Measurement Methods.

His research focuses on Spectroscopy, Imaging, and Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy applications for monitoring pharmaceutical crystallization processes. He develops automated platforms to study temperature-dependent crystallization kinetics in amorphous materials like nifedipine, with implications for novel drug formulation development.

His 2024 publication demonstrates quasi-continuous terahertz monitoring of nifedipine crystallization across 144+ hours at 24°C, 30°C, and 35°C, capturing polymorphic intermediate states and storage temperature effects on crystallization rates.

Dr. Ornik collaborates within Leibniz-IPHT's Spectroscopy / Imaging Working Group on advanced optical measurement systems for precision material analysis in pharmaceutical and materials science contexts.
