GROUP LEADERS
Goran Vladisavljević
Goran’s research is focused of fabrication of emulsions and smart particles using droplet microfluidic and membrane devices for applications in healthcare and environmental engineering, food engineering, molecular biology, and chemistry. His group exploits physicochemical and chemical phenomena/processes such as phase separation, molecular self-assembly, free-radical polymerisation, nanoprecipitation, crystallisation, ionic crosslinking, and molecular imprinting to tailor composition, morphology and microstructure of fabricated materials.
Guido Bolognesi
Senior Lecturer
Office: S2.05
