We study the design, synthesis and analysis of soft matter systems, focusing in particular on the structure and dynamics of colloidal suspensions.
Soft Matter is very, very widespread. You've almost certainly eaten it for breakfast this morning, washed your hair with it, smeared it over your face before leaving for work and are now reading about it on a display which only works precisely because it is a soft material.
Soft Matter is the science of squishy materials such as as polymers, liquid crystals, colloids, foams, gels, and a wide variety of self-organizing materials. Or on a more technical note, it is the study of materials with length scales which are much larger than molecules, so their physical properties are dominated by thermal fluctuations and easily deformed by applied external stresses.
