Inês C. B. Martins is an Associate Professor in the Pharmaceutical Processes and Products group at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Copenhagen. She completed her PhD in Chemistry at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, in 2018, with distinction and honor, under the supervision of Prof. Teresa Duarte and Dr. Luís Mafra.
During her PhD, she combined solid-state characterization techniques with computational methods to study complex pharmaceutical systems. Following her PhD, she was awarded the Adolf Martens Fellowship at BAM in Berlin, where she worked with Prof. Franziska Emmerling to deepen her expertise in advanced solid-state characterization methods.
In 2021, Inês joined the University of Copenhagen as a Postdoctoral Researcher and Teaching Assistant in the group of Prof. Thomas Rades, where she has demonstrated for the first time the existence of polymorphism in pharmaceutical systems using combined solid-state characterization techniques with molecular modelling.
In 2024, she was appointed Associate Professor, with her research focusing on investigating the amorphous diversity of pharmaceutical systems and advancing material design through “amorphous engineering.” This new research field is being developed with support from her recently awarded Inge Lehmann Grant (2025) and Semper Ardens Accelerate Starting Grant (2026).
