Biography

Emma Björk is a Professor at Linköping University specializing in the development of nanoporous materials and understanding the material formation process that correlates with materials characteristics. Her research focuses on materials with pore sizes between 2 to 50 nanometers, which provides a large specific surface area of approximately 500–1000 m²/g. This porosity makes these materials suitable for applications in drug delivery, sensing, and catalysis. To synthesize these materials, she employs a sol-gel process and utilizes in situ techniques to study how materials are formed. Her work aims to provide insights into how synthesis parameters affect the characteristics of the final materials. Additionally, she is interested in designing materials to optimize their performance for various applications through alterations in composition, pore structure, and morphology.
