Soft Condensed Matter & Biophysics
Prof. dr. A. (Alfons) van Blaaderen Fundamental physics research in the field of condensed matter for the development and use of colloidal in model systems. Using colloid self-assembly systems to design and study advanced materials.
Prof. dr. M. (Marjolein) Dijkstra To understand self-assembly of soft and biological systems, to (inverse) design new functional materials using theory, simulations, and machine learning methods. Our aim is to design new advanced functional materials for e.g. catalysis and photonics.
Prof. dr. J. (Jan) Lipfert We study how biological macromolecules adopt their structure, interact, undergo conformational changes, respond to forces and torques, and form higher order assemblies.
Dr. ir. M.A. (Marijn) van Huis Transmission electron microscopy reveals the shape, structure and crystallography of nanoscale materials. We also perform in-situ experiments to study nanoscale processes in time.
Dr. A. (Arnout) Imhof We fabricate of new types of monodisperse colloidal particles, study their self-assembly, and behavior in external fields such as shear flow or electric fields.
Dr. L. (Lisa) Tran We seek to understand anisotropy in biological systems, to develop biomimetic, sustainable materials.
Dr. G.A. (Gerhard) Blab Development of advanced microscopy methods, such as Correlated Light- and Electron Microscopy and OCT, for use in Biophysical and Biological research. 
Dr. L.C. (Laura) Filion My research group uses, and develops, a combination of state-of-the-art computational and machine learning algorithms to study self-assembly in soft matter systems – both in and out of equilibrium.
Dr. F.T. (Freddy) Rabouw We investigate the properties of nanoparticles using optical spectroscopy, trying to understand the flow of energy, charges, and heat.
