Anna Hanner is an Associate Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, specializing in the design of bioinspired biomimetic materials. Her research focuses on the structure, properties, and functions of materials that resemble plant-based tissues and plant cells. Her group primarily investigates polysaccharide-based building blocks, centering on cellulose, which is a fundamental load-bearing molecule found in plants. The research explores the fundamental properties of self-assembled materials, with the goal of leveraging this understanding to design models that mimic the cell wall of plants, particularly the primary cell wall. Applications of her research include developing smart polysaccharide-based materials for structural colors, barrier applications, and biomedical applications, such as controlled release and stimuli-responsive materials.
