Biography

Ioannis Chronakis is a professor at the Technical University of Denmark specializing in bio-macromolecular nanotechnology, particularly in the development and application of functional electro-spun nano-microstructures for food and bio-engineering purposes, such as tissue engineering, bio-pharmaceuticals, and bio-sensors. His research includes the study of molecularly imprinted nano-microstructures aimed at biomedical applications, focusing on tailored active sites within nanostructures for selective binding of target molecules. He explores the structural-functional properties of food bio-macromolecules, including hydrocolloids and amphiphilic systems, addressing their rheological properties and self-assembly behavior. Chronakis has held numerous prestigious positions in R&D across Europe, including leadership roles in research projects focusing on polysaccharides, surfactants, and their applications in food technology.
