Complex fluids activity

Complex fluids constitute an interdisciplinary subject, taking in aspects of physics, chemistry and materials science. Examples include colloids, biopolymers, micelles and liquid crystals, which have important technological applications in many every-day products ranging from food to personal care products, clays and gels.

My research activity in the field of complex fluids.
