Personal profile
Research profile
Tom Bruining is a doctoral candidate in the Stimuli-responsive Functional Materials & Devices (SFD) group under Dick Broer and Danqing Liu. His work focusses on mechanically programmed liquid crystal based stimuli responsive materials. With topics including the development of new production routes for these materials and their application in haptic feedback technologies.
Academic background
Tom completed his master's degree in Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in 2022. He completed his thesis on Liquid Crystal Elastomer Fiber Actuation by Motor Molecules in the SFD group. After this he went on to do his internship at Merck in Darmstadt, Germany, where he worked with ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals.
