Welcome to the Soft Matter Lab website!
Our research focuses primarily on active matter, stochastic phenomena, optical manipulation, statistical physics, network theory, deep learning, neurosciences, and biological physics.
We are interested in both experimental and theoretical aspects.
We have also been active in plasmonics, Raman spectroscopy, biophotonics, cylindrical vector beams, and fiber optics.
