Dr. Patrick Saloga博士

Patrick joined the Freiburg office of Maucher Jenkins in August 2021and has been an associate since January 2025.

 

Patrick graduated from Freie Universität Berlin in 2017 with a master's degree in chemistry; This was followed by research as a scientific assistant at the German Federal Institute for Materials Research (BAM) and in 2020 he received his PhD in chemistry from Freie Universität.

 

Patrick specializes in the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials and their applications in the life sciences. Research focuses on silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles and their performance during artificial digestion as well as their formation or degradation induced by biomolecules. He is proficient in microwave-assisted preparation of inorganic nanostructures and non-destructive, simultaneous analysis of billions of nanoparticles using light and X-ray scattering methods.

 

Interests outside of work:

 

Patrick enjoys traveling, exploring local museums and food.
