Niclas Solin is an Associate Professor at Linköping University, where he also serves as the Head of the Electronic Photonic Materials division and the Biomolecular Organic Electronics unit. His research focuses on the application of biopolymers in materials science, emphasizing the self-assembly processes of biopolymeric materials that are held together by weak interactions. Through his work, he aims to develop new materials that incorporate various functionalities, such as light-emitting molecules and redox-active functional groups, for applications in organic electronics and photonics. Solin's special interest lies in the development of protein materials, particularly in how proteins can self-assemble into nanofibrils that possess unique structural properties leading to the formation of thin films, hydrogels, and aerogels. His innovative approach leverages low-cost proteins sourced from industrial food production waste, providing sustainable alternatives to synthetic plastics. In addition to his research, Solin is involved in teaching courses related to materials science and organic chemistry at Linköping University, where he has been since 2008 and obtained his PhD in Organic Chemistry from Stockholm University in 2004.
