Moving to the University of Amsterdam!
Per September 1, Joshua will be working in the Soft Matter department of the Van der Waals – Zeeman Institute. For one more year he will be affiliated with Wageningen University for one day per week. The team will be active in both places!
Direct evidence of stress-induced chain proximity in a macromolecular complex
PEG/PAA mixtures display shear-induced gelation which can be traced back to chain proximity with NOESY techniques and most likely hydrogen bonding.
Available for outreach lectures
You can now hire Joshua to give lectures on breakfast materials science via Kennis Op Straat. He will tailor the lectures on the audience (10+).
Dutch Soft Matter Meeting
The Dutch Soft Matter community‘s bi-annual meeting. This time in Utrecht.
Particles 2017
The particles discussed were more polydisperse than the audience.
Talk at Teacher’s Day Wageningen University
In summer 2015 we made an effort to make instructional videos for our freshman General Chemistry lab classes. Other teachers also wanted to hear about how to do this!
15 seconds of fame in our university newspaper
Sustaining the questionable cycle of systematic self-promotion…
Spanning the scales of granular materials through microscopic force imaging
Check out the paper on contact force imaging on compressed hydrogel spheres, done at Duke University. Don’t forget the associated discrete element modeling work.
