Background

My PhD thesis concerns polar order in liquid crystalline polymers for nonlinear optics (e.g. second harmonic generation) (The Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm). As a postdoc I studied the surface-bulk diffusion of surfactants in a relatively high frequency range (as compared to previous studies; 1-100 Hz) to explain foam formation in surface viscoelastic systems (Max-Planck-Institut, Potsdam), as well as molecular structural changes in Collagen 1 as a diagnostic marker for cancer (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim). As a research fellow I worked on surface functionalization and liquid absorption for printing of ink and functional materials on porous media (paper) (Digital Printing Centre, Örnsköldsvik, Sweden).
