Journal Cover for our Tutorial Review on Chemical Society Reviews
Advances Towards Programmable Droplet Transport on Solid Surfaces and its Applications Robert Malinowski, Ivan Parkin & Giorgio Volpe
Welcome to the Soft Active Matter Lab!
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!
