Saskia Lindhoud
University of Twente, The Netherlands
Saskia Lindhoud is an adjunct professor at the Department of Molecules and Materials at the University of Twente. She studied Molecular Sciences at Wageningen University and obtained a PhD degree in Physical Chemistry and Colloid Science in 2009. She then did an industrially oriented post-doc at the University of Bath in the UK, where she used cellulose derivatives as renewable thickeners for personal care products. In 2013, she moved to the Nanobiophysics group of the University of Twente and started on a post-doc on motor failure in neurodegenerative diseases. Later that year she started working on her Veni project on complex coacervates as novel macromolecular crowding agents. In 2016 she obtained a permanent position as an assistant professor at the Nanobiophysics group. In 2020 she moved to the Department of Molecules and Materials and started a tenure track. Her research focuses on the production and characterisation of sustainable materials based on polyelectrolyte complexation that can be used for separation processes.
