Fredric Svensson

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Lars Österlund working with synthesizing and evaluating metal oxide photocatalysts for removal of compounds of emerging concern from water using advanced oxidation processes.

I recieved my PhD in inorganic chemistry 2020 from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, under supervision of Prof. Vadim Kessler. The project was focused on the development of new inorganic and hybrid nanomaterials for medical and photochemical applications, mainly based on nanotitania and nanocellulose. We also studied fundamental processes in sol-gel chemistry for the formation of titania nanoparticles. The thesis, Hybrid Nano Titania: Molecular Formation Mechanisms and Applications in Nanotechnology, was awarded the gold medal in the International Sol-Gel Society's Best PhD Thesis Award 2020.
