I am now working as a PhD student in the group of Materials Science and Technology of Polymers, led by Professor Julius Vancso, in MESA+ Institute of Nanotechnology, University of Twente. My current project involves the realization of functional miniature containers made of block copolymers for the study of reactions in small environment, which utilizes my experience and knowledge from my former research projects in the Master Program of Nanotechnology. Techniques like Atomic Force Microscopy, Confocal Scanning/Wide Field Fluorescence Microscopy, Soft Lithography, etc., which I encountered during the master period will help me unravel the mysterious nature of and better manipulate these nano-objects.

AFM image of block copolymer vesicles as nano-containers. The average diameter of the spheres is ~100nm.
