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!

In this project, we will print and align molecules by manipulating droplets. This project is funded by the EPSRC under award #EP/W005875/1. Visit the project website here.
Miruna will study anomalous protein diffusion in the plasma membrane during T cell activation. Miruna will be co-supervised together with Dr Sabrina Simoncelli at LCN (UCL).
Jaume’s PhD is focused on the deposition of organic semiconductors with droplets for the fabrication of novel organic semiconductor devices.
