Dr. Mark Vis

Biography

Mark Vis is a Veni laureate at the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry, focusing on the structure and stability of macromolecular mixtures that form the basis of water-in-water emulsions, which are utilized in food texturization and encapsulation. His research is centered on understanding the structural interfaces of these mixtures, particularly the effects of charge, to enable novel applications and the rational design of effective stabilizers. Mark is also interested in gaining a fundamental understanding of deep eutectic solvents and systems, aiming to integrate theory and experiments to address challenges in physical chemistry. Mark completed his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in 2009 at Utrecht University, graduating with honors. He subsequently pursued a Master’s program in 'Nanomaterials: Chemistry & Physics', conducted an internship at the University of Gothenburg, and graduated from Utrecht University in 2011 with distinction. He began his PhD in 2012 in the Physical Colloid Chemistry group at Utrecht University, finishing in 2015 also with cum laude. In 2016, he joined the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry at TU/e as a postdoctoral researcher, receiving a Veni grant in 2017. He is actively involved in educational activities, teaching advanced thermodynamics and kinetics.
