Victor Starov is Professor of Chemical Engineering at Loughborough University, UK. He is also an Honorary Professor, Moscow State University of Food Production, Russia. His areas of nanoscience interests include:

• Kinetics of wetting and spreading: influence of surface forces, spreading over hydrophobic and porous substrates
• Influence of surface forces on membrane separation: nano-filtration, ultra- and microfiltration (fouling and/or gel layers formation)
• Influence of surface forces on rheology of concentrated suspensions

Career Highlights

• Member of the Editorial Board of Colloid Journal (Russian Academy of Sciences)
• Member of Council Colloid Science and Physicochemical Mechanics, Russian Academy of Sciences
• Guest Editor of a Special Issue of Advances in Colloid and Interface Science
• Member of Review Panels of Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, Journal of Membrane Science, Colloid Journal (Russian Academy of Sciences)
