Welcome to my website!
My name is Daniel Zambo and recently I have been living and working as a postdoctoral researcher in Hannover, Germany. I received my BSc and MSc degrees from Budapest University of Technology and Economics in chemical engineering. Previously, I worked in the Institute of Technical Physics and Materials Science (one of the research centers of Hungarian Academy of Sciences) in Budapest as research fellow. Our research group (Chemical Nanostructures Laboratory, led by Dr. Andras Deak) is working on different topics in the field of nanotechnology, plasmonics and colloid chemistry. My research interests cover the synthesis of metallic (mainly plasmonic) nanoparticles and nanostructures, semiconductor nanoparticles and their 3D superstructures, the fundamental physical-chemical phanomena arising in nanoparticle systems, surface modification, directed self-assembly and optics of different NPs. Nowadays, I am working on the preparation and investigation of self-supported aerogels built up from Cd-based semiconductor nanoparticles in differnt shapes (QDs, dot-in-shell particles, nanopletelets).
