Dr. Andrei Honciuc is currently a Senior Scientific Researcher at the “Petru Poni” Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry in Romania. Before this position, he was a Metrohm-endowed Professor at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, where he led a research group with a primary focus on nanomaterials and interfacial science. Prior to that, he was employed at BASF as a chemist, where he developed materials for photolithographic processes used in the production of the most recent generation of computer chips and processors. He earned his PhD from the University of Alabama, USA, in 2006 and pursued postdoctoral studies focusing on surfaces, interfaces, and nanotechnology at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and later as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen, Germany. Dr. Honciuc's research interests cover the area of Janus nanoparticles, functional micromaterials obtained via Pickering emulsion polymerization, and polymer composites with special optoelectronic properties such as piezoelectricity, energy harvesting, and fluorescence detection. His interests are also heavily involved in developing new water-floating adsorbents for heavy metal ion pollutants—a revolutionary technology that promises to make water remediation more cost-effective and efficient.
