One of these ghosts is me, haunting my own experiments to make sure they behave. 🧪👻
Happy Halloween from SML! The only contamination we're allowing in the biolab this season is ectoplasm! 👻🧫

How fast can hematite swim? 🏊♀️
We show that simple calcination can greatly enhance the photocatalytic-driven motility of hematite microswimmers. Now out in Applied Materials Today!

Friday sparkle ✨ Memory Lane decided to show me some of the glitz from my PhD with these shimmering self-assembled hematite particles. So feel free to enjoy these little gems with me before the weekend. 💎

Happy to have helped make this photo ☺️ Can't wait to see what all we will do with our fantastic fungi 🍄🎉
SML'ers won the Lustrum Photo Challenge for the Aerospace Faculty's 85th Anniversary! We 3D printed fungi for this super fun challenge. Here's some behind the scenes action as well. 📸🍾🎉🍄

This started as a quest for better magnetic microparticles—and ended with some delightfully deformable ones featured on the cover of Soft Matter! 🧲💫
Huge thanks to my amazing co-authors Laura Rossi, Nitin Rajendra Madam!

A little TU Delft energy in the middle of Manhattan. 🔥
Prometheus reminds us that knowledge is meant to be shared - the flame burns bright on both sides of the ocean.

New paper out! 🧲 We present a simple method for making magnetic polymer microparticles that can be stretched into ellipsoids while keeping their magnetic response. Curious? Read more: doi.org/10.1039/D5SM00061K #MaterialsScience #SoftMatter#MagneticParticles
Reshapable magnetic particles for morphology-controlled soft systems
Spherical polymeric particles are essential in a wide range of applications, from fundamental self-assembly to bioseparation technologies, with well-established synthetic methodologies. However, incor...

From brain maps to living bridges: the innovations set to reshape life in 2025
Whoever thinks research is not exciting might be in for a surprise. In 2025, we could witness genetic decoding of the human brain, collect solar energy in space, and walk across a bridge built of elec...

Had some fun at #nwochains this year. 🌞 Presenting a poster and discussing with researchers in chemistry definitely offered some new perspectives. It was also great to catch up with some friends from the PhD.
