Forskningsbeskrivning

  • *Nanoscale functional materials and devices for biomedical applications* Nanostructured materials show great potential in the biomedical field as they can serve as superior bioimaging contrast agents, diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Antibacterial nanosilver, plasmonic nanosized noble metals, quantum dots, nanophosphors and superparamagnetic nanoparticles constitute some of such functional materials. Here, we focus on aerosol manufacturing of smart nanoscale materials and devices and investigate the parameters that influence their properties, targeting superior performance in theranostics. Our approach is highly multidisciplinary combining expertise from material engineering, bioengineering and health sciences. This allows for the design and engineering of biomaterials that exhibit the desired functionality in applications ranging from diagnostics to therapeutic interventions. If you are a student and you like the above research topics, please do not hesitate to contact me. Research projects (e.g. master thesis) may be available!
