Our fundamental theoretical and experimental studies are combined with applied research so that the results obtained are used in protection of health, environment and cultural heritage, as well as to improve technological processes. We educate and train doctoral students in theoretical basis and methods of surface studies by engaging them in innovative research projects and making available our unique instrumentation. In the latest research quality evaluation by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, we were granted the highest A+ scientific category.
Graduate in Chemistry from Sofia University, Sofia , Bulgaria. PhD in physical chemistry 2010 (Institute of Physical Chemistry - Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia , Bulgaria). DSc in Chemistry 2022 (Jerzy Haber Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry - Polish Academy of Sciences, Krakow, Poland). Postdoctoral specializations in Colloid Chemistry in Max-Planck-Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (Potsdam, Germany) 2011-2017 and University of Münster (Germany) 2017-2019.
We invite postdoctoral researchers for a joint MSCA PF 2026 proposal on amyloid fibril-based soft-matter colloids. The project will investigate how fibril structure and interfacial assembly control the stability and functionality of foams and emulsions.
