Life-Like Materials
Lab
We aim to develop chemistry that introduces life-like behavior in synthetic matter. We study self-organization processes that take place at the 0.1 – 10 mm length scale and emerge from combinations of molecular assembly, chemical reaction networks and physicochemical phenomena such as surface tension gradients. Currently, we are exploring how self-organization of amphiphile networks opens new pathways in reconfigurable matter and neuromorphic systems.
We are a team of scientists located at the Radboud University in Nijmegen (The Netherlands). Our lab is part of the Department of Physical Organic Chemistry, and embedded in the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM).
Recently, we got a PhD position grant awarded from the Dutch Research Council NWO! Do you want to build hydrogels that interact with their environment and self-optimise to particular tasks? Do you enjoy exploring systems chemistry, reaction networks and self-assembly in out-of-equilibrium matter and smart materials? Then apply here to join our team as a PhD candidate!
