Welcome to Lehu, a new postdoc in the group
Lehu will work between Prof. Tong’s group and the SAM lab on the development of a new liquid antenna design for telecommunications.
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!
