Joakim Löfgren

Ph.D. student
2014/08 – 2019/12
Research
Joakim’s research was focused on understanding the properties of surfactant layers in nanoparticle growth as well as on mesoscale modeling of nanoparticle assembly.
In January 2020 Joakim moved to Aalto University in Finland to join the group of Patrick Rinke.
