Deputy Head

Tijmen S. Bos is a dedicated researcher with expertise in advancing chromatographic systems and data analysis through automation and innovative methodologies. After earning his Ph.D. in 2023 from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, he joined the University of Amsterdam as a postdoctoral researcher. His work focuses on polymer analysis, where he develops state-of-the-art methods and algorithms to enhance separation techniques and extract deeper insights from analytical data. In addition to his role in Amsterdam, he is a guest researcher in Professor Dwight Stoll's group at Gustavus Adolphus College. His research is driven by a commitment to integrating cutting-edge advancements in automated method development into analytical science, contributing to both academic progress and practical applications.

Resolving Surface-Charge Density Distributions in Polymeric Nanoparticles Using CZE, HDC, and Chemometric Deconvolution

Understanding nanoparticle surface charge is crucial for optimizing their performance in industrial and biomedical applications. Using capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and hydrodynamic chromatography (HDC) with chemometric deconvolution, we resolved detailed surface charge density (SCD) distributions in polymeric nanoparticles. Our approach revealed size-dependent variations, multimodal charge populations, and the impact of surfactants on bare NP characterization.
