Project: wound healing and sustainable topical formulations.The main objective of this multidisciplinary project is to develop a toolbox for making novel sustainable and multifunctional topical formulations aiming for wound healing, wound prevention, and drug delivery by using natural, degradable, and environmentally friendly products. I work on the formulations to modify, and also by using the rheometer, SAXS, WAXS, DSC, and optical microscopy to characterize the formulations and adjust them to desired applications.The project is in collaboration with industrial and clinical partners: Magle Chemoswed, Qpharma, In vitro Plant Tech, Galenica, Perrigo, Prebona, Zelmic.

Project: formulation, preparation, and rheology characteristics of cellulose nanoparticles, Chitin nanocrystals, and wood-based composites.CNCs are one of the emerging topics in materials science, with numerous potential applications such as reinforcements in composites, food, coatings, transparent films, flexible displays, the substrate of printable electronics, and in drug delivery. Especially for the manufacturing of CNC-based films and CNCs as rheology modifiers, understanding the rheological behavior of CNC suspensions is of paramount importance. In this project, first, I comprehensively focus on the thixotropy and rheological behavior of CNC and CHNC water suspensions in relation to their phase behavior by changing the concentration in suspensions. On the other hand, I also work on chemical modification of CNC to crosslink the nanocrystals and be able to produce more flexible films.
