Taha Behroozi Kohlan

I am a Ph.D. student specializing in developing stimuli-responsive materials for biomedical applications under the supervision of Prof. Anna Finne Wistrand. My current research focuses on tissue engineering and drug delivery, with an emphasis on dynamic covalent hydrogels and nanomaterials incorporating stimuli-responsive moieties.

In the project related to tissue regeneration, the presentation and integration of different biochemical and biomechanical cues within dynamic covalent hydrogels are being investigated. 

Project: Induce vascular networks in large porous scaffolds by manipulation of the local microenvironment; spatiotemporal control of growth factors and patterning of mechanical signals

In the drug delivery project, stimuli-responsive nanocarriers are being synthesized using amphiphilic copolymers. These carriers enable precise spatiotemporal control over the release of therapeutic compounds.

Background:

I received my BSc in Chemical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. My thesis was titled "Synthesis and Application of Hollow Carbon Nano Spheres in Active Protective Film Coatings by Loading Green Inhibitors for Self-Healing Performance."

I conducted my MSc research in Prof. Bekir Dizman's group at Sabanci University, Istanbul, Turkey, focusing on the synthesis and characterization of 2-oxazoline monomers and polymers, the development of thermal latent curing agents for thermosetting resins, and the modification of carbon-based nanomaterials for composite applications. I graduated from the Materials Science and Nanoengineering department.
