Mr. Kristoffer Almdal serves as Professor in polymers in nanotechnology at Department of Micro- and Nanotechnology of Technical University of Denmark. His Present research activities are in composite materials, particle based nanosensors for the study of metabolism in living cells, new materials for micro- and nanotechnology, polymer degradation, and elongational rheology. His research interest further include model polymer and block copolymer melts including studies of mesophase structure, critical phenomena, order-to-order, order-to-disorder transitions, polymer dynamics, and polymer synthesis. He has expertise in anionic polymerisation, self-organization phenomena, small angle scattering, rheology, and size exclusion chromatography. Mr. Almdal holds a PhD in Polymer Chemistry from the University of Copenhagen. He earned post doc at the University of Minnesota.
