Our scientific interests encompass different branches of soft condensed matter and optical physics, including novel laser trapping and imaging techniques, molecular and colloidal self-assembly, ...

This property originates from the formation of a cholesteric liquid crystal phase with an optically ... exoskeleton with an electrically conductive polymer, polyaniline. The polymer does not ...

This work is being done in collaboration with Professor Doug Gin. Liquid crystals can be organized to form films with a nanostructured polymer network. These structures can be cross-linked to produce ...
