Kanvaly Sanogo Lacina serves as a Research and Education Assistant at Utrecht University's Faculty of Science, specifically within the Department of Chemistry. Based at the Van 't Hoff Laboratory for Physical and Colloid Chemistry (part of the Debye Research Institute), they work in the Chemistry Practicum at the Victor J. Koningsberger Building in Utrecht. Their position combines research responsibilities with practical teaching duties in chemistry.
Dr. Lacina's research focuses on advanced colloidal systems, with particular expertise in the synthesis and modification of specialized particles. Their work spans physical chemistry, colloid science, and nanomaterials engineering, with emphasis on creating particles with specific surface properties and geometries. Key research areas include Janus particles with chemically distinct surfaces, patchy particles with controlled geometries, and chiral colloidal structures.
Analysis of their publication record reveals a consistent focus on particle surface engineering and controlled synthesis techniques. Their work demonstrates expertise in wet-chemical methods, surface modification through polymerization techniques, and creating particles with orthogonal chemical functionality. The research has applications in materials science, drug delivery systems, and advanced colloidal assemblies.
Lacina has been actively contributing to research at Utrecht University since 2007, first as an Organic Chemistry Research Assistant at Organon before joining the Van 't Hoff Laboratory. Their work is conducted within the Debye Research Institute, a leading center for physical and colloid chemistry in the Netherlands.
