We specialize in:

  • interfacial lipid-lipid and lipid-protein interactions
  • design of nanopatterned, biocompatible films and coatings
  • surface reactions in the processing of atmospheric aerosols

Interfacial chemistry of lipid monolayers as model systems for cell membrane properties.

This is an image of a Langmuir trough

Interfacial interactions are ubiquitous. By studying interfacial structure and the nature of interactions between surface-active components, e.g. structure, morphology and chemical composition of a surface layer, we can understand, predict and control interfacial processes.

In particular, this multidisciplinary research program focuses on three main areas of application, all related via control of interfacial properties: biological interactions, functional materials and atmospheric chemistry.
