Sasic received his PhD from the University of Belgrade in Serbia. He worked at Kwansei-Gakuin University (Japan) on a variety of applications of vibrational spectroscopy, chemometrics, 2D correlation spectroscopy, and surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). He then worked at MIT, on a method for non-invasive analysis of glucose based on Raman spectroscopy and multivariate calibration. He joined Pfizer (and later Vertex) next, where he specialized in vibrational spectroscopy-based chemical imaging of pharmaceuticals, and on using NIR spectroscopy for monitoring of the blending of pharmaceutical materials. Sasic currently works at SSCI/AMRI using vibrational spectroscopy, chemical imaging, XRPD, and chemometrics for the analysis of pharmaceutical solid forms.
