About

Joerg Lahann is a pioneering researcher in the fields of bioinspired materials, Janus particles, and metamaterials, with a focus on creating dynamic, multifunctional systems at the micro- and nanoscale. His major contributions include the development of Janus particles—asymmetric particles with distinct surface properties—which have revolutionized applications in drug delivery, self-assembly, and responsive materials. More recently, Lahann has advanced the concept of Janus swarm metamaterials, demonstrating their use in information display, memory, and encryption, as highlighted in his 2024 highly cited work. With over 17,000 citations across his career, his research has had a profound impact on materials science and engineering. Notably, his work on metamaterials bridges the gap between physical systems and computational abstractions, enabling novel approaches to information processing. Lahann’s achievements include numerous awards and editorial roles, cementing his status as a leader in interdisciplinary materials research.
