About us
The Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Engineering at Sofia University, established in 1983, is committed to quality education and research in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. With strong international partnerships and a focus on practical applications, we strive to make meaningful contributions to our field. Learn more about our journey and our ongoing projects.
Main research areas
- Surfactant aggregates and mesophases in bulk: structure, rheology, stability
- Multiphase systems (foams, emulsions): formation, stability, rheology
- Complex mixtures: surfactants + polymers/particles/perfumes/cosurfactants – interactions on bulk and on interfaces; natural surfactants
- Enzyme-surfactant mixtures: competitive adsorption, product solubilization, denaturing in concentrates
- Biophysics & colloid science in fat digestion and drug delivery systems
- Surfactant adsorption: thermodynamics, kinetics, surface rheology
- Physicochemical theoretical models: adsorption, aggregation, rheology, etc.
- Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations: aggregation, adsorption, …
