Dr Johannes Schneider is a Maplethorpe Research and Teaching Fellow in the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science at King’s College London. His research brings together advanced manufacturing, materials science and artificial intelligence to rethink how medicines are made and checked. As a Maplethorpe Fellow, he is developing AI-native approaches to non-destructive quality assessment, with the aim of making quality control fast enough to keep pace with personalised, on-demand manufacturing of medicines.

Johannes trained as a mechanical engineer at TU Dresden and holds a PhD from the University of Glasgow on additively manufactured nanocomposites and architected materials. Before joining King’s in 2025, he worked at the University of Glasgow, at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi and at the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden. At King’s he has led work on AI copilots for quality control in the 3D printing of personalised medicines, in collaboration with industry. He also teaches on the MPharm programme, where he lectures on solid dosage forms and leads the tablets and dissolution practicals.
