How will you contribute?
As experienced researcher, you will take a leading role in driving innovation within the field of dispersed systems, focusing on both liquid (such as colloids and liquid crystals) and solid states (including colloidal gels and nanocomposites). Your primary challenge will be to design and develop efficient micro- and nanostructured capsules or spheres—groundbreaking materials that address complex scientific issues while aligning with the evolving needs of the global delivery system market.
Your expertise in colloidal science will extend beyond traditional boundaries, as you also explore the potential of colloidal gels and polymer-based nanocomposites for innovative applications in Agriculture, Cosmetics, and Healthcare. This includes working on materials with antibacterial functions, paving the way for new solutions in areas such as wound care, coatings, and even sustainable agricultural practices.
Working with cutting-edge tools like spray dryers, electrospinning technology, and continuous flow reactors, you will leverage state-of-the-art equipment to bring your scientific ideas to life. These tools will allow you to create scalable, efficient micro- and nanostructured materials that can meet real-world demands.
Beyond technical expertise, you will also play a pivotal role in mentoring and guiding the next generation of scientists, as you supervise Master's and Ph D students, helping them develop their research skills and careers. You will provide them with the knowledge and resources to contribute meaningfully to high-impact projects, while also ensuring that your project team consistently delivers excellence.
Collaboration will be key to your success. As a true team player, you will work closely with colleagues across disciplines—from chemistry and materials science to engineering and biology. Your strong interpersonal skills will ensure seamless communication and coordination, driving projects forward while maintaining a positive and collaborative work environment. Whether leading your own initiatives or contributing as part of a larger team, you will foster an atmosphere where ideas flow freely, and solutions are developed collectively.
If you have experience working in the private sector, this will be an additional asset, enabling you to better understand the market needs and development cycles of industrial applications. Your ability to bridge the gap between academic research and practical, real-world solutions will make you a valuable asset to both the research team and potential industry partners.
Ultimately, in this role, you will not only advance the field of colloidal and nanostructured materials but also create practical solutions that have a tangible impact on industries such as agriculture, cosmetics, and healthcare. Your leadership in innovation and your ability to work collaboratively will shape the future of this exciting field.
