Nanologica manufactures and sells porous silica for analytical chromatography for industrial research and development.  Adam is responsible for development of Nanologica’s drug delivery platform for enhanced formulations of medicines across a broad range of diseases with a focus on respiratory disease.  Dr Feiler is currently involved in evaluation of Nanologica’s technology for formulations relevant for Covid-19.

Adam, a physical chemist by training, is Docent and Adjunct Professor in Applied Nanotechnology at KTH, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm.  In this capacity he is mentor and supervisor to students in applied research projects helping to translate academic training to tackle real world challenges.

Adam grew up in Penzance, Cornwall UK with renowned painters as parents and a twin brother as sparring partner.  He loved the wild nature and ocean that dominated the culture.  From an early age Adam was inspired by scientists and followed his passion to pursue chemistry. He took the decision to conduct his PhD in chemistry in Australia which has left a lasting positive effect.  It was there he met and fell in love with a Swede which brought him to Sweden to carry out a post doc.  He thought they would stay 2 years…that was 20 years ago.

Having moved from academia to industry over this period Adam has gained a broad and deep experience in applied research and commercial development. Adam has the view that every day is exciting and an opportunity to learn something new.
