Non-equilibrium Soft Matter
Welcome to our group homepage.
Our group explores the non-equilibrium behavior of soft materials – from blood rheology to active biomembranes. This is a research area at the interface between condensed matter physics, materials science, applied math, and biology. Our work combines theory and experiment, and blends ideas from different disciplines as we try to understand to relation between dynamics at the nano-, micro- and macro-scales. We are particularly interested in biology inspired designs for micro- and nano-fluidic applications, for example, "soft" structures from self-assembled bilayer membranes.
