Project

Self-propagating stimulus-responsive surface
This livMatS project aims to develop stimulus-responsive switchable surfaces that are induced by mechanical and thermal signals. My work includes the development of shape-memory materials and structuring microstructure. In general, this is an interdisciplinary project related to chemistry and materials science.
