Overview

Roger S. Porter was affiliated with the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the United States. They specialized primarily in the field of Materials Science, with a specific focus on Materials Chemistry. Their research spanned several interrelated domains including crystallization and solubility studies, X-ray diffraction in crystallography, epilepsy research and treatment, pharmacological effects and toxicity studies, as well as genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Their publication record featured contributions across multiple scientific topics, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to their research. Main topics of their work included:

  • Crystallization and Solubility Studies
  • X-ray Diffraction in Crystallography
  • Epilepsy Research and Treatment
  • Pharmacological Effects and Toxicity Studies
  • Genetics and Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Within their subfields of study, Porter contributed mostly to Materials Chemistry but also worked in Psychiatry and Mental Health, Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, and Genetics.

Their research outputs were published in several known venues. They had multiple publications in The Cambridge Structural Database, amounting to six contributions. Other published work appeared in Neurology.

Among Porter's recent papers were:

  • Treatment Outcomes During Brivaracetam Treatment by Seizure Freedom Status at Baseline: Post hoc Analysis of a Real-world, US Study (2023, Neurology)
  • CCDC 2277981: Experimental Crystal Structure Determination (2023, The Cambridge Structural Database)
  • CCDC 2277982: Experimental Crystal Structure Determination (2023, The Cambridge Structural Database)
  • CCDC 2277984: Experimental Crystal Structure Determination (2023, The Cambridge Structural Database)
  • CCDC 2277986: Experimental Crystal Structure Determination (2023, The Cambridge Structural Database)

Frequent collaborators in their research included A. Zhang, F.M. Li, and T. Sun, with several joint publications. The presence of Hina Dave as a coauthor was noted in at least one instance.
