Personal profile
Research Focus
My research interests are centered on phase equilibria and colloidal chemistry, in particular phenomena in solutions of surfactants, ionic liquids, and zwitterionic materials. Currently, my research group is conducting an interdisciplinary research program focused on design, simulation, and synthesis of novel molecular structures for targeted applications in separation technology, energy, and healthcare sectors.
We accept PhD applications.
