Engineering Soft Matter

Welcome!​

Colloids, polymers, lipids and foams are all examples of soft matter, the physical properties of which are easily deformed by thermal forces.  These systems are commonly found in nature and have a number of important applications.  By manipulating these systems using microfluidic devices or micromechanical structures, we are able to understand their fundamental properties and engineer materials with new functionalities.​
