Research Overview

The general focus of our research is on fundamental phenomena of soft matter at surfaces and interfaces and on the interactions between micro- and nano-particles under exposure to light (see Santer, S. «Remote control of soft nano-objects by light using azobenzene containing surfactants» Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 51 (2017) 013002)

Current interests are hosted in several projects:
