Remco Tuinier

Remco Tuinier is a Full Professor of Physical Chemistry at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), affiliated with the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. His research focuses on polymeric and colloidal liquids, advanced solid surfaces, and liquid-liquid interfaces. He leads the Physical Chemistry group, emphasizing theoretical and experimental approaches to soft matter science and sustainable materials.

• Affiliations: TU/e (since 2015), Debye Institute (Utrecht University), Van 't Hoff Laboratory (Utrecht University).
• Education: PhD in Food Science (1999, Wageningen University), postdoc at Utrecht University, staff member at Forschungszentrum Jülich (2001–2008), DSM ChemTech Center (2008–2015), part-time Chair at Utrecht University (2010–2020).

Research Interests: Colloid-polymer mixtures, self-assembly, phase behavior, sustainable materials for energy and health. His work bridges experimental and computational methods to design functional materials.

Projects: Includes studies on biopolymer mixtures in plant-based products and drying of colloid-polymer systems. Collaborations span academia and industry (e.g., DSM).

Teaching: Courses on polymer and colloid science, advanced thermodynamics, and coatings technology.
