معرفی
Dr. Ali Zarbakhsh is a Senior Lecturer in Physical Chemistry and Director of School Admissions at Queen Mary University of London's School of Physical and Chemical Sciences. He holds affiliations with the Centre for Chemical Research and the Centre for Experimental and Applied Physics.
His research focuses on structure-function relationships in self-assembling surfactants and polymeric materials at interfaces. Key areas include neutron/X-ray scattering techniques, soft matter (nanogels for drug/DNA delivery), and lubrication (oil-metal interface adsorption). His work is funded by the European Commission, UKRI, and BP. Teaching expertise spans surfactants, electrochemistry, and nanomaterials.
Recent grants include STFC-funded projects on polymer brush architectures (2025-2026), bioemulsion design (2024-2025), and gene delivery mechanisms (2023-2024). His lab develops bioemulsion systems and investigates nanoscale toughness of protein assemblies. Collaborations span materials science, biomedicine, and interdisciplinary physics.
Notable publications (2024-2014) explore gene delivery complexes, nanogel adsorption, protein corona formation, and corrosion inhibition mechanisms using advanced scattering methods. His work bridges fundamental interface science with industrial applications in formulation chemistry and biotechnology.
