We are a group of biophysicists, physicists, chemists and microbiologists 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 are always looking for bright people to join us at any level. Get in touch!
Subject areas: Deep learning, soft matter, active matter, targeted delivery, self-assembly, biosensing, computational sciences. Supervisors: Dr Giorgio Volpe (UCL), Dr Yuan Cheng (IHPC, A*STAR, Singapore),…
