Manasa Yerragunta

Manasa is a 5th-year PhD candidate in Chemical Engineering at the University of Houston, advised by Dr. Peter G. Vekilov and Dr. Jeffrey D. Rimer. Her research focuses on the fundamental mechanisms of nucleation and crystal growth in organic systems. She also investigate the thermodynamic stability of polymorphs and polymorphic transformation pathways, driven by a broader motivation to unravel the long-standing puzzle of polymorphism in molecular crystals.
