MultiPhase Matters

Thanks

Thanks to the EU for funding our new ITN “CALIPER” in which we aim to connect 3D experimentalists with DEM experts to improve our understanding of granular materials.

We will miss you!

Arriving just too late, or just in time?

Symmetry-reversals in chiral active matter

Interactions between actively driven, spinning particles determine their collective behavior! Nice collaboration with Karen Daniels from NCSU. Our work also graced the back cover of the journal Soft Matter.
