We are interested in complex fluids - fluids that posses structure at different length scales, and whose structure define the properties of the fluids at those length scales.

One area of particular interest for us is microfluidics and the use of microfluidics for precisely tailored preparation of drops, bubbles, particles and capsules. We also work on the problem of transport of droplets through mazes of microfluidic channels - we want to design and make automated microlaboratories that will opperate simultaneously on arrays of droplets of distinct and predefined chemical content.

We are also interested in the processes of self-organization in polymers, liquid crystals and colloidal fluids, especially when the systems are driven away from equilibrium by the action of oscillating electric or magnetic fields. We investigate crystallization and dynamic self-organization of proteins and colloids, and the dynamics of supramolecular structures (cytoskeleton) in bacteria.
