Rate My Professor Alison Nordon

Her research centers on the development of spectroscopic techniques—including optical, acoustic, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, near- and mid-infrared, and THz Raman spectroscopies—in conjunction with multivariate data analysis for online monitoring of chemical processes. This encompasses advances in measurement techniques for process analytics, procedures to extract chemical and physical information from spectra, and applications across industries such as pharmaceuticals, nuclear fuel reprocessing, alternative proteins, and food manufacturing, scaling from lab to full production. Professor Nordon has produced over 130 research works, garnering more than 3,100 citations. Key publications include "Quality by digital design in action: a workflow for crystallisation and isolation" (International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2025), "Compositional analysis of alternative protein blends using near and mid-infrared spectroscopy coupled with conventional and machine learning algorithms" (Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2025), "Calibration free approaches for rapid polymorph discrimination via low frequency (THz) Raman spectroscopy" (Chemical Communications, 2024), and "Quality by digital design to accelerate sustainable medicines development" (International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2025). Her work has advanced process analytical technology and digital design in manufacturing.
