    Research

    Elucidating self-assembly phenomena in liquid crystals, nanorod suspensions and polymers, and studying their amplification to signals detectable by the human eye, our research transcends scales from the molecular to the macroscopic. Through rich exchanges with creative people across diverse fields, we put our results to use in unexpected contexts, from biosensing to structural health monitoring.

    Experimental Soft Matter Physics

    We study the spontaneous appearance of order in liquid crystals, polymers, colloids and their combinations, giving rise to unique and peculiar behaviours.

    Research

    Our goal is to establish a thermodynamic theory describing energy conversion and information processing in synthetic or biological systems operating far from equilibrium.

    Complex Systems and Statistical Mechanics (CSSM)

    Thermodynamics and statistical physics have been mostly used to study systems close to equilibrium. We are interesting in far from equilibrium phenomena.
