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.
Anoop C. Patil joins the Soft Matter Lab
Anoop is a Senior Fellow at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology (SMART) center, based in the National University Singapore campus, Singapore.
