Teaching

I'm acting as a teacher tutor for materials engineering students in both BSc and MSc level. You can ask me about anything related to Materials engingeerin courses and I will try to get you the answer. Below are the courses I'm more or less responsible in some way.

BSc level:
MTEK0038 Thesis seminar, Materials Engineering

MSc level:
MTEK0018 Internship, Materials Engineering
MTEK0020 Master's Thesis in Technology Seminar, Materials Engineering

Research

I'm expert in light producing materials (esp. luminescent nanoparticles) both in developing their fabrication processes and characterization methods. During my doctoral research I focused on developing thin layer coatings to protect luminescent nanoparticles in different applications mediums. At Materials engineering I have so far had research on optical thin films for microcavity based OLEDs (with Luminous Materials and Devices group), optically active materials for solar cell applications, and photoresponsive smart materials (with Solar Energy Materials and Devices group). 
Currently I'm part of Materials in Health Technology group where my research will benefit their development of eletrochemical sensing for health care.
