Available Projects
We currently have an PhD position available in the group. Please send me an email if you are interested
If you are a chemistry, engineering, physics or biophysics students at the bachelor, master and internship level we always have available projects that can be tailored to your background and interests. If you are thinking about a project in the soft matter research area don't hesitate to contact me. Projects are also available for students from other Dutch and International universities!
Examples of available project are:
- Magnetic hematite particles with exotic shapes
- Engineering nanoparticles for tumor diagnostic in collaboration with the Molecular Oncology group of Paul van Bergen en Enegouwen at Utrecht University
- Defect dynamics in 2D colloidal crystals
If you'd like to know more on available projects please contact me directly.

Lucia Baldauf -MSc project-
|
Assembly of Opal Balls on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
In collaboration with Utrecht University, Lucia will prepare opal balls using silica, silica-hematite, hematite and polymeric particles of different shapes and will investigate how the particle shape influences the properties of the opals. October 2016 - Dec 2017 |
Marije Kroenmeijer -BSc project-
|
Colloidal Clusters of Magnetic cubes
During her bachelor project Marije will study how magnetic dipolar interactions influence the packing of colloidal cubes in spherical confinement. April 2017 - August 2017 |
Xiufeng Li -Internship-
|
Self-healing magnetic materials
In his project Xiufeng will work on improving self-healing materials using magnetic colloids as "healing" force. He will prepare different kinds of self-healing materials and study their mechanical properties using various techniques including optical microscopy and rheology. March 2017 - August 2017 |
Marc del Pozo Puig -Internship-
|
Stimuli-responsive magnetic colloids
In this project Marc will prepare stimuli-responsive magnetic colloids that consist of inorganic magnetic particles embedded in a polymer shell that reacts to external stimuli such as temperature and/or pH. He will furthermore study the self-assembly of these particles under different conditions. March 2017 - August 2017 |
Stefan van Vliet -MSc project-
|
Colloidal Clusters of Silica
Cubes In this project Stefan will prepare colloidal clusters using silica cubic-like particles. The cluster geometry will be compared with the data already available for spheres and simulations performed by collaborators at the University of Michigan. October 2016 - July 2017 |
