Novel Materials via Self-Assembly
The Novel Materials via Self-Assembly Group employs computational and theoretical means to study molecular self-assembly systems for the purpose of developing novel materials for drug delivery and active membranes. A summary in Finnish is provided by M. Sammalkorpi "Fysiikan ja kemian rajamailta: itsejärjestäytyvät molekyylimateriaalit", Arkhimedes 4, 15 (2011) [PDF: Arkhimedes4_2011_Sammalkorpi.pdf ]
The current active research projects involve modeling and characterization of amphiphile aggregation in aqueous solution, biomolecular interactions with the amphiphile aggregates, charged polymer aggregation and adsorption characteristics in film growth, and carbon nanotube interactions with the biocompatible films. We do, occasionally, publish, and collaborate. There may also be open positions in the group.
The group is led by me, Maria Sammalkorpi. I am a scientist by training, a researcher by disposition, and nice in general. After several years in the USA, I have now relocated my research activities from Yale University back home to Aalto University, Finland (formerly Helsinki University of Technology).
I teach during spring 2012 Advanced molecular modelling (KE-31.5550). I am also the one to blame about things regarding the Chemistry Department seminar series. I might have meddled with some other things as well. Anyway, what ever is your reason to seek me out, my work contact information is below the love notes.
We address funding love notes to:
National Doctoral Programme in Materials Physics
