L. (Loredana) Protesescu, PhD

My main interest lies in nano-material sciences with a focus on colloidal nano-heterostructures and my target will be the design, synthesis and characterization of nanostructures with main applications in the areas developed for solution processed opto-electronic devices, novel nano-magnets, smart nano-surfaces for biological applications but also nano-coatings for extreme environment. The close relationship between the material, its structure, surface, and physical properties will be explored to develop high-quality products for industrial applications.
