About Us
We are an interdisciplinary group with diverse research interests
The N&N Group’s research is mainly focused on the rational synthesis of nanoparticles and nanocomposites and the study of their structural-functional properties, including those related to nano/bio-interfaces. The group vision is to see our materials impact Nanomedicine, Information Technologies, or Energy and Environment. Surf our website if you want to know more about us and our research!
