My research interests mainly focus on controlled drug release and delivery of biocompatible systems (self-assembly/complexation of polymers, liposomes and hydrogels); polymer architecture via living polymerization (ATRP, ROP, RAFT etc.); interactions of liposomes with ions, peptides, polymers and etc; carbon nanotube based polymer composites.
