Veronika Zadin, professor of material technology

The research group focuses on the behavior of nanoscale materials in complex environments and extends the control of nanomaterials for interdisciplinary and extensive use.

The ERA Chair MATTER combines the expertise of research groups at the University of Tartu in multidimensional computer simulations, nanomanipulation, applications of nanotechnology, and molecular biology, all related to various aspects of the development and utilization of nanomaterials in extreme environments.

We investigate and develop materials under the influence of high electromagnetic fields, nanometer-atomic scale structures, and biological environments - crucial factors in the construction of CERN particle accelerators, finding new green energy technologies, and developing innovative nanotechnology applications, such as in cancer treatment.

Studying the damage mechanisms of nanoscale materials in extreme environments enables new solutions in fields such as biomedical applications (nanomedicine, drug delivery, regenerative medicine), renewable energy sources, high electric field applications, high-power microwave and radar devices, materials research, ICT and electronics applications, MEMS & NEMS, etc.
