The ERC Starting Grant of up to 1.5 million euro , funded by the European Research Council, is aimed at supporting early-career researchers who are in the process of establishing their own research teams or programs. In high competition, WWSC researcher Tobias Benselfelt, KTH, is one of the receivers of the prestigious grant for the project “DynanoNet: Adaptive Separation using Dynamic Nanofibril Networks”, focusing on adaptive separation techniques to improve the production of bio-based pharmaceuticals.
“My colleagues and I will be researching nano-networks whose pore size or other properties can be modified in response to different stimuli. This will allow us to control which particles or molecules pass through the networks,” says Tobias Benselfelt to kth.se.
This year 3474 researchers applied for an ERC starting grant, of which 494 was granted (22 in Sweden).
