Nominator's project description

Professor Vladimir Tsukruk is an international authority in material research of soft matter systems. His exceptional creativity allows him to combine outstanding expertise in Physics and Chemistry in a highly interdisciplinary approach. His conceptionally pioneering work on biomimetic sensors and nanoparticle-soft matter composites is a great source of inspiration. During his stay in Germany, he will investigate protein gel-nanoparticle composites which have potential applications in sensing and actuation. Professor Tsukruk is hosted by Professor Andreas Fery and Professor Thomas Scheibel at the University of Bayreuth.
