Education

edit

He received his BSc in chemistry from the University of Amsterdam in 1987 and his PhD in chemistry from the University of Amsterdam in 1990 under the supervision of Joop van Voorst.[4] He did his postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Robin Hochstrasser at the University of Pennsylvania.[5]

Research

edit

Wynne has authored over 90 published scientific papers.[6][7][8] His work is focused on the structure and dynamics of liquids[9][10][11][12] and solutions[13][14][15][16] as well as peptides,[17] proteins,[18][19][20] and other biomolecules[21][22][23] treated as amorphous objects behaving much like liquids. He described the Mayonnaise Effect, which explains the anomalous increase of the viscosity of solutions with concentration in terms of a jamming transition.[24] He is particularly interested in phase behaviour such as "supercooling of liquids, folding transitions in peptides,[17] phase separation and nucleation using laser-tweezing,[25] nucleation of crystals from solution",[26] and liquid-liquid[27][28] and liquid-crystalline transitions.[29] These phenomena are studied using femtosecond spectroscopies[30] such as ultrafast optical Kerr-effect spectroscopy, time-domain terahertz spectroscopy (THz-TDS)[31][32] as well as optical microscopy and various other forms of spectroscopy.[33][34]
