Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Jos Zwanikken. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Jos Zwanikken obtained a master's degree in theoretical physics from Utrecht University and completed his PhD under the mentorship of René van Roij, collaborating with groups from the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science and the department of colloid chemistry. He held a postdoctoral position at Northwestern University with Monica Olvera de la Cruz and received a research faculty position in the Materials Science and Engineering department in 2011. Zwanikken accepted a tenure track position at the University of Massachusetts Lowell in 2015, in the department of Physics and Applied Physics, where he developed and taught courses, earning a Teaching Excellence Award in 2017. In February 2021, he began a position at TU Delft focusing on education and theoretical research in the Department of Nanobiology within the Faculty of Applied Sciences. His research includes theoretical computational studies on colloidal suspensions, oil-water interfaces, and the effects of electrolytes on various systems, as well as the phase behavior of charged polymers, self-assembly processes, and the evolution of reaction networks.
Requirements apply generally across engineering and science master programs. Specific tracks like Architecture require a digital portfolio.
