Prof. Dr. Erik Reimhult is the Head of the Department of Bionanosciences at BOKU University, Vienna, Austria. He obtained his PhD in 2004 from Chalmers University of Technology, which was followed by post-doctorates at IMRE in Singapore and at ETH Zürich. From 2008, he was a Senior Scientist in the Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology at ETH Zürich, supervising a group working on lipid membranes, nanoparticles, and biosensors. Since 2010, he has been a Professor of Nanobiotechnology at BOKU University and the Head of the Institute of Colloid and Biointerface Science. He was awarded the ERC Consolidator Grant in 2012 and was elected to the Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in 2013. His current research focus is on using colloidal methods to study the interactions of bacteria and biofilms with solid and liquid interfaces, fabricating functional bionanocomposites, and responsive polymer nanostructures with applications in biotechnology and medicine.
