2D materials, wetting, physical chemistry, hydrogels

Liuba recieved her MSc degree in materials science from Moscow State University and PhD from Leiden University, where she built her background in 2D materials, physical chemistry and wetting phenomena. In her postdoctoral studies her research inetersts evolved to designing and studying 2D material/hydrogel interfaces, mechanics of hydrogels and finally soft matter in general. In September 2023 she joined the group of Prof. Isa where she is working on developing hydrogel-based substrates for capillary-assisted deposition and assembly of bacteria.

Honours
