Marjolein Dijkstra is a professor at Utrecht University, specifically within the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science, where she leads the Computer Simulation group. Her research primarily focuses on the theoretical simulations of soft condensed matter systems, investigating phenomena such as sterically charged stabilized colloidal suspensions. She explores a range of topics including the structure of bulk and interfacial wetting behavior in colloidal (nanoparticle) suspensions, crystal structure prediction, nucleation, glasses, gels, and effective interactions. Dijkstra's work is distinguished by strong collaborative ties with experimentalists in the Soft Condensed Matter group at the Van ‘t Hoff Laboratory, reflecting her commitment to bridging theoretical and practical aspects of material science.
