PhD Projects

This project will provide in depth knowledge of the fundamental processes of coacervation and dissolution, where dissolved species of biomolecules or soft matter separate into distinct phases upon a change on solution composition in a liquid-liquid phase separation process (LLPS).

The project will provide a deeper insight into the mechanisms that occur during catalytic promoted chemical reaction on a single nanoparticle basis. This can help in optimizing ensemble system used in a large number of industries by favoring certain properties of the metallic nanoparticles during synthesis.

This project will explore new opportunities to map and measure potentials and charges inside liquids. We will be utilizing microfabricated electrodes to drive charged species via electroosmosis and electrophoresis, map static nanoparticles and the same microelectrodes via electron holography under various parameters, help to generate the next species of LPEM cells for better resolution and show what capabilities LPEM can provide.

In close collaboration with one of the world’s leading ED groups at Stockholm University, we will find the optimal ways to perform ED on nanocrystals to study structural changes as temperature and chemical conditions vary. We aim to help increase control of drug loading in nanomedicine development with leading researchers at DTU Healthtech.
