## RESEARCH PROFILE

Loai Abdelmohsen's research experience is in the field of polymer synthesis, nanoparticles characterization, copolymer self-assembly and shape transformations, and the design of micro and nanomotors. He is a member of the Bio-organic chemistry research group at Eindhoven University of Technology where the objective is to construct smart compartments with life-like features along two main lines of research: nanomedicine and artificial cells and organelles.

> My ambition is to engineer functional dynamic systems to mimic the structural and systemic complexity of biology”

## ACADEMIC BACKGROUND

Loai is assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Netherlands. Loai undertook a Master’s program at Radboud University (the Netherlands), which was completed in 2013. In the same university, he conducted his PhD in the Bio-Organic Chemistry group. During his PhD he gained an active interest in the utilization of copolymers for supramolecular assembly and the subsequent integration of functional properties – such as motility. In 2017 he was appointed as assistant professor at TU/e – leading a team of PhD students and Postdocs. His research is focused on creating supramolecular dynamic systems and motile machines with the capacity of autonomous motion.
