We are a group of biophysicists, physicists and chemists at UCL. We study artificial and biological soft active matter. We are interested in its fundamental behaviours and its applications to healthcare and materials science. We currently have 1 PhD position available and we are always looking for bright people to join us at any level. Get in touch!
