Trayectoria profesional
Ana Morfesis Ph.D. joined Malvern Panalytical in 1999. Prior to joining the company Dr. Morfesis carried out applied product development research for PPG Industries. During that time, she also established and managed the PPG Corporate Colloid & Interface Laboratory. She received two research awards at PPG for developing optimal material properties in new products through the understanding of surface chemistry.
She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, working with Professor Robert L Rowell in light scattering, polymer colloids, emulsions, and interfacial studies.
Dr. Morfesis is customer focussed and enjoys helping Malvern Panalytical clients learn more about light scattering and helping them to succeed in their product development and research needs.
