About :
We are a laboratory devoted to the study of soft matter systems working at the Instituto de Investigaciones Fisicoquímicas y Aplicadas (INIFTA) in the Department of Chemistry of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP). Our approach is multidisciplinary, involving concepts and expertise from chemistry, physics, biomedical engineering, and materials science. We pursue the goal of understanding the relationship between molecular structure, molecular function and macroscopic properties. In this context, we are particularly interested in designing and building soft materials and devices with unprecedented properties and functions. The research projects on which we are presently working involve the integration of functional molecular systems into devices and platforms for different specific purposes. The devices of current interest are solid-state nanopores, graphene-based field-effect transistors and bioelectrochemical sensors.

Science is evolving fast. What key tools and skills should tomorrow’s scientists master to remain relevant? Looking forward to Lilo Pozzo’s thoughts.

Prof. Pozzo’s research interests are in the area of colloids, polymers and soft-matter systems. Her research group focuses on controlling and manipulating materials structure for applications in healthcare, alternative energy and sustainability. Her group also develops and utilizes laboratory automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate the development time-scales of new materials and applies advanced techniques based on neutron and x-ray scattering to characterize their nanostructure. Prof. Pozzo obtained her B.S. from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and her PhD in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh PA. She also worked at the NIST Center for Neutron Research as a post-doctoral fellow and is currently the Boeing-Roundhill Chair Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Washington where she has served since 2007.
