Welcome

​​Welcome to the Surface Modification and Functionalization research team!
​
We are focused on the development of new or modified material surfaces aiming to solve specific industrial problem while contributing to the body of knowledge in physics and materials science. We believe in the importance of developing creativity, critical thinking, scholarship, and independence as successful traits in our scientist.

Please feel free to explore the website and learn more about the ongoing projects and the scientists behind it.
