PhD (Physical chemistry), Associate Professor
Research interests
Biomimetic materials:
 
The main research interests concern the development of bioactive materials based on functional coatings based on titanium dioxide and polymer systems, as well as the study of their principles of functioning and biological response. Functional coatings and stimuli-responsive dynamic systems have been developed to create microdosing systems for the controlled release of drugs, active chemicals, as well as to regulate and control the growth of osteoblast cells. The sonochemical fabrication of functional materials and coatings.
