Habilitation à diriger des recherches

Oksana Krupka retraces her scientific career, which began with a thesis at Kyiv's Taras Shevchenko University in 2005, devoted to the synthesis of sulfonamide-based polymers for biomedical applications.She then carried out several post-doctoral internships at the University of Angers, developing polymers incorporating a coumarin unit for optical storage and anti-counterfeiting applications. As a researcher at Kyiv University, she then carried out research on azo-benzene-based polymers, exploring their photochromic properties for applications in nonlinear optics and surface structuring. Since 2022, she has been holding a Junior Professorship at the University of Angers, and her current research project focuses on the development of stimuli-responsive polymeric systems and nanoparticles. These are designed for the controlled release of drugs, with innovative healthcare applications such as photodynamic and photothermal therapies. more...
