Michael Whittaker Email & Phone Number

Experienced Research Director and Manager with a demonstrated history of providing research leadership and uplift in the industrial and academic sectors. Expert in advanced polymerisation techniques and the design / synthesis / modification / characterisation of functional soft and hard matter. In my research career, I have demonstrated using these materials to form functional and smart polymer materials, and hybrid organic/inorganic nanoparticles with precise architectures and properties. As well as providing fundamental insights and new methods for materials synthesis, my transdisciplinary research has previously focused on using these functional materials as building blocks for advanced functional nano/materials used in a range of high-end technologies: precision nanomedicines (therapeutic drugs, DNA, RNA delivery, and clinical imaging applications), bio-coatings, antibacterial materials, polymer bioconjugates, and environmental remediation. Now, I build nanoscale tools to probe and exploit fundamental biology. A career total of >220 publications, H-index =64 (Google Scholar) and over 10M$ research income.Moved from Twitter to Mastodon.
