Luigi Gentile star Proven Solver

I have considerable experience in physical chemistry characterization of soft-matter and nanostructured materials. Previously my master thesis was directed toward to encapsulate the drug in vesicles and vesicles in a polymeric gel network.
Currently, I am working as a lecturer (assistant professor) at the University of Bari Aldo Moro (Italy), while i was previously permanently employed as Researcher at Lund University (Sweden) on cellulose dissolution by using rheology and nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion (NMR). My research goals were directed toward understanding the complex flow behavior of lyotropic liquid crystals (lamellar, cubic and vesicle phases) by using rheology, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging, rheo-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, rheo-Small Angle Neutron and Light Scattering. I also obtained some funds for my research activities.
I am working mainly in colloidal science, i.e., I am able to formulate of detergents, pharmaceutical, food and bituminous materials. Colloids are widely used as emulsifiers, humectants, etc.. As a matter of fact my formation in physical-chemistry allow to me to be a perfect problem solver. Recently i focused on extracted organic matter from soil and cellulose-fungal degradation.
