Current members

Postdoctoral fellows

Soft matter and statistical mechanics

Postdoctoral researchers lead investigations tied to the four project domains and the group’s experimental instrumentation.

Doctoral candidates

Statistical mechanics

Doctoral candidates pursue focused research questions, supported by regular mentorship and seminar discussion.

Laboratory contributors

Experimental instrumentation

Laboratory contributors maintain instruments and support experiments across the group’s project domains.

Working practice

Mentorship, seminars, and external co-investigators

Joint seminars give members a regular forum to test ideas and discuss methods. Our working practice is open inquiry, with mentorship built into each investigation.

We also maintain an ongoing network of external academic co-investigators who contribute to shared questions across the projects.

How the group works

Members meet in regular collaborative seminars to present progress, question assumptions, and refine experimental approaches. Mentorship is ongoing, with feedback designed to strengthen rigorous analysis and clear reporting.
