Jérôme Crassous

Prof. Jérôme Crassous is a Junior Professor at RWTH Aachen University's Department of Physical Chemistry of Soft Matter. His research focuses on microgel systems, soft matter physics, and responsive materials. Key interests include colloidal self-assembly, anisotropic particle design, and applications in biomaterials and tissue engineering.

His work bridges experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches to study microgel behavior under varying conditions, such as temperature, electric fields, and magnetic actuation. Recent studies highlight programmable microgel actuators, interfacial assembly at air-water interfaces, and biocompatible encapsulation techniques.

Publications emphasize structural control of microgels (e.g., core-shell, hollow, rod-shaped geometries), phase transitions, and interactions with lipid membranes. Applications span drug delivery, smart materials, and fluid dynamics control.

No scientific awards are explicitly listed in the provided texts. His research group explores advanced fabrication methods like microfluidics and cryo-TEM for material characterization.
