Biography

Sandra Kleuskens received her Msc in Science at the Radboud University in 2020. During her master program, she followed the shape transformation of PEG-PS polymersomes using magnetic birefringence in a jointed project between the HFML and the systems Chemistry group. After finishing her master, she re-joined both groups as a PhD student focusing on diamagnetic steering of stomatocyte polymersomes.

Projects for students

Control motion of micro- and nanomotors offers a great potential for drug delivery. This project will focus on using magnetic fields to steer the nanomotors and increase the magneto-responds of the polymers to the magnetic field. Students interested in polymer chemistry and/or an multi-disciplinary internship are both welcome.
