Prof. Dr. Andrij Pich
The research group of Andrij Pich has acquired many years of expertise in synthesizing functional polymers and colloidal particles with controlled chemical structure and morphology. He draws inspiration from biological systems and focuses in particular on the chemical design of macromolecules that react to external stimuli, assemble independently and degrade programmably. His reserach group has great expertise in the synthesis of nano- and microgels and their use for the production of soft, interactive materials with active properties. Such properties are, for example, changes in shape, the recognition of certain structures or the possibility of regeneration for use in catalysis, plant breeding, biomaterials and coatings.
Curriculum Vitae
In 2009 Andrij Pich was appointed to Lichtenberg Professor for Functional and Interactive Polymers at RWTH Aachen University. Since 2019 he is also a Professor for Biobased Polymers at Maastricht University (part time professorship). After studying chemical technology in Lviv/Ukraine he received his PhD from the Technical University Dresden in 2001. In 2006/2007 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto/Canada. In 2007 he received the Georg Manecke Award of the GDCh (German Chemical Society) and completed his habilitation in 2008 at Technical University Dresden. His research focusses on the synthesis of functional polymers and polymer colloids with variable chemical structures and morphologies and their use for the design of functional and interactive materials.
