Fredric Svensson

I am currently a 5th year PhD student in chemistry working in the group of Prof. Vadim Kessler. I work mainly with the synthesis and characterization of modified titanium alkoxide complexes as molecular precursors for titania based hybrid materials and as model systems for titania nanoparticle-ligand interactions. I also work with nanotitania-nanocellulose hybrid materials as potential new materials in medical theraphy, which includes antimicrobiological and immunological studies of the materials.
Single crystal- and powder X-ray crystallography, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectrometry, UV-vis spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spetrometry are frequently used analytic techniques.
