Soft and Biological Matter
The group has a distinguished history in both theory and experiment, from the foundations of polymer science continuing today into many developments of colloid and interface systems. We are interested in application and development towards novel composite or functional materials, and also in the application of soft condensed matter concepts to the understanding of biological materials and structures.
