About me
I see this as a great opportunity to start new collaborations with excellent scientists and to work on problems that are both scientifically challenging and relevant for society and industry.About my research
Our work on polyelectrolyte complexation: by combining synthetic chemistry, a large range of experimental techniques, and theoretical modelling, we have made very significant contributions to understanding the self-assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and the properties of the structures that they form. I am also very proud of the talented PhD students that I supervised: four of them won prestigious awards for their thesis, and all have successful careers in academia or industry.Academic career
