Biography

Eric Tyrode is a Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, specializing in Physical Chemistry. He is the Scientific Director of the 2MILab (Molecules Materials Interfaces Laboratory) and has a background in chemical engineering. His research primarily focuses on surface phenomena at aqueous interfaces, employing various spectroscopic techniques to investigate molecular vibrations. Tyrode's current studies address ion-specific phenomena, examining how specific ion effects influence surface tension in salt solutions and their implications for biological processes. He also examines the quasi-liquid layer on ice surfaces that impacts ice adhesion and employs vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS) and TIR Raman techniques for in-depth analysis. Additionally, Tyrode investigates molecular confinement and the behavior of lipid membranes which play critical roles in biological functions and biotechnological applications.
