Dr. Vivek Verma is a UCC Futures Pharmaceuticals Lecturer in the Process and Chemical Engineering Department at the School of Engineering and Architecture, University College Cork. He specializes in pharmaceutical nucleation and crystallization, with notable contributions to templated crystallization of oligonucleotide drugs and sustainable purification processes. Previously, he held postdoctoral positions at Imperial College London (Marie Sklodowska Curie Fellow) and the University of Limerick. His research interests include peptide self-assembly, engineered surfaces, and lipid nanoparticles for drug delivery. Education: Integrated BS-MS (Chemistry) from IISER Pune (2014) and PhD in Pharmaceutical Science from the University of Limerick (2018). Awards include the Marie Sklodowska Curie Fellowship (2021), SFI-IRC Pathways Fellowship (2024), and Best Presentation at Imperial College London's Post-doc Symposium (2024). Research focuses on developing sustainable pharmaceutical purification platforms and exploring secondary processing techniques. He has published in high-impact journals like Chemical Engineering Journal and Crystal Growth & Design , with two cover features. A US patent (US20230111202A1) for nanoparticle technology is among his innovations. Funded projects include €564k SFI-IRC grant for oligonucleotide crystallization and €224k EU Marie Curie Fellowship. He mentors early-career researchers and organizes academic conferences, such as the 2018 British Crystal Growth Student Day.
