This is a great possibility to learn hosting skills in a friendly environment and create connections for future . Everyone is welcome to join\, BioCity Turku will offer the lunch.\n\nIf you got interested\, please send an email to biocityturku@bioscience.fi\n\ n \;\n\nMahanthappa research group focuses on the development of block copolymer and liquid crystal materials. Their research approach relies on a powerful combination of chemical synthesis\, morphological characteriza tion\, and physical properties assessments to develop useful materials for a variety of applications. Situated at the interface of chemistry\, chemi cal engineering\, and materials science\, their interdisciplinary research program engages students and postdocs with diverse backgrounds in highly collaborative research. Mahanthappa groups’ research mission is to scala bly produce useful polymer and liquid crystals with precise control over m olecular architecture and functional group placement\, in order to gain mo lecular–level insights into their structure–property relationships for potentially innovative applications.\n\n \;\n\nSelected publications\ n\nAJ Mueller\, AP Lindsay\, RM Lewis III\, Q Zhang\, S Narayanan\, TP Lod ge\, Mahesh K Mahanthappa\, Frank S Bates. 2024.
