Mark Vis

Mark Vis is an Assistant Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), affiliated with the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems and the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. He holds a PhD from Utrecht University (2015) and has been a postdoctoral researcher at TU/e since 2016. His research focuses on the structure and stability of macromolecular mixtures, particularly in water-in-water emulsions and deep eutectic solvents. He was awarded the NWO Veni Grant in 2017 for his work on macromolecular interfaces.
