Muhammet Toprak

Prof. Muhammet S. Toprak is a materials’ chemist with expertise in functional-materials and material design on the nanoscale. The focus is the development of nanoparticles with controlled size, morphology and surface chemistry, precisely-engineered for the intended applications. He is currently a staff member at the Department of Applied Physics, KTH. Toprak’s research activities have a strong sustainability focus, with special emphasis on applications in energy and biomedicine. A pioneering area is the development of a library of novel nanoparticle-based contrast-agents, and demonstration of their use for emerging x-ray fluorescence bio-imaging. Development of targeted nanoparticles is the objective of on-going research.
