Assistant professor in "Rheology of Complex Polymeric Systems"
Daniele Parisi is an assistant professor in "Rheology of Complex Polymeric Systems" at the University of Groningen. Dr. Parisi holds a PhD in Materials Science and Technology (2019) attained at the University of Crete within the Marie Skłodowska Curie training network “COLLDENSE” (Colloids of Designed Response). He is a Soft Matter experimentalist, with extensive knowledge of rheology, rheometry, polymer and colloid physics. The research goal in the Parisi group is to understand the structure-property relationships of various (bio)polymeric and colloidal systems, in quiescent and under deformation (processing) conditions, to design and engineering novel impactful applications. The experimental research approach involves various rheological techniques, often coupled with in-situ spectroscopy (i.e., birefringence, light scattering, Raman and FTIR), and molecular models, with the aim at linking molecular properties of polymers and macroscopic rheological response.
Since its foundation in 1614, the University of Groningen has enjoyed an international reputation as a dynamic and innovative centre of higher education offering high-quality teaching and research. Balanced study and career paths in a wide variety of disciplines encourage currently more than 32,000 students and researchers to develop their own individual talents. Belonging to the best research universities in Europe and the top 100 universities in the world (see our ranking: https://www.rug.nl/about-ug/profile/facts-and-figures/position-international-rankings, the University of Groningen is truly an international place of knowledge.
