Yuchao He joins the Soft Matter Lab
Yuchao is a master student in Complex Adaptive Systems at Chalmers University of Technology.
During his time at the Soft Matter Lab, he will work on particle tracing.
Yuxin Guo joins the Soft Matter Lab
Yuxin is a master student in Software Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology.
During his time at the Soft Matter Lab, he will work on using deep learning and graph theory to analyze the human brain connectome.
Erik Olsén joins the Soft Matter Lab
Erik received a PhD degree 2023 in physics from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. In his thesis he focused on optical particle characterisation of nanoparticles and submicron particles, with an emphasis on label-free characterisation methods.
The Soft Matter Lab will administrate the postdoc grant while Erik will be in the lab of Sabrina Leslie at University of British Columbia (UBC). At UBC, Erik will combine different image modalities with confined lens induced confinement (CLiC) to characterise different types of biological nanoparticles.
Flavia Theisel Bravo joins the Soft Matter Lab
Flavia is an masters student at the department of physics, TU Dresden, Germany.
In her internship, she will focus on the simulation of intracavity optical trapping.
Her internship will last until 18 October 2024.
Marcel Rey appointed at the University of Münster
Jason Lewis joins the Soft Matter Lab
Jason received his Ph.D. degree in Complexity Science from the University of Warwick, UK, with a thesis titled “Topological models of swarming”, which studied the dynamics of bird flocks, specifically under topological constraints, via theory and numerical simulation.
After his PhD, he undertook a postdoc in the group of Joakim Stenhammar at Lund University, Sweden, where he investigated chemotaxis and the collective behaviour of microswimmers, known as active turbulence, in addition to other projects at the interface of machine learning and active matter.
His research focuses on the theory and simulation of active matter systems at all scales, specifically on modelling the structure and dynamics of self-organising groups of motile robots.
Kunli Xiong appointed at Uppsala University
He will start his new appointment on May 6th 2024. His research will focus on nanooptics technology for electronic paper, optical neural networks, and intelligent microparticles.
Wylie Ahmed visits the Soft Matter Lab. Welcome!
He will visit us for 5 months from March 1, 2024, to July 31, 2024.
He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow at the Institut Curie in Paris, France. He started his group in 2016 in California and is now moving his research activities to Toulouse France. His research interests are in cellular biophysics, soft and active matter physics, and bio-inspired materials with a theme towards understanding emergent behavior.
