We are pleased to see our cover art being featured as front cover of Small in the Special Issue "Synthetic Biology and Biomimicry"
Vichi's paper entitled Directed Self-organization of Hard and Soft Nano-materials by DNA Hybridization has been selected as part of CHIMIA's Polymer and Colloid Highlights to illustrate the Swiss Chemical community's broad research…
During her PhD, Anamarija will be working on Multi-compartment nanofactories for on-site and on-demand drug synthesis and delivery as part of an SNI project, co-supervised with Prof. Dr. Oya Tagit, FHNW.
During his PhD, Manuel will be working on asymmetric polymer matrices for functional surfaces in advanced technologic applications.
We are currently looking for a postdoctoral researcher for the development of Smart Surfaces for Biosensing Applications. Find the job description in the document below.
We are currently looking for a Master student in a project related to the design of functional surfaces. Find further information in the document below.
Daela Milinkovic joined the Palivan group for her Wahlpraktikum and is continuing on with her Master's Thesis in our group.
Researchers in the Palivan group have developed a strategy for the controlled self-organization of disparate nanoobjects into hybrid clusters as a new type of material at nano-scale. These clusters uniquely combine "hard" asymmetric…
Djallal received the thesis prize 2022 form the french group of polymers ‘GFP- Groupe Français d’études et d’applications des Polymères’. His thesis entitled ‘Formulation of glyco-nanostructures via photo-RAFT polymerization induced…
For this years group retreat, the Palivan group traveled to Laax and spend 3 days in the Canton of Grisons, sandwiched in between beautiful mountains.
Djallal Ikkene started a postdoc position in our group and will be working on the synthesis, characterization and self-assembly of protein-based amphiphilic copolymers. Welcome!
With his excellent poster about "Polystyrene-block-poly(vinyl alcohol) nanostructured self-assemblies for preparation of pervaporation membranes", Alessandro Angelini won a prize for one of the best poster presentations at the international…
Alessandro successfully defended his PhD thesis. He gave an excellent presentation about his work, entitled “Nanostructured pervaporation membranes for bioethanol dehydration”. We are happy to keep Alessandro in our group for another year…
