The SoCal Soft Matter Symposium is an annual research meeting that aims to bring together the community of researchers in Southern California who are performing experimental, computational, or theoretical work in soft matter and related fields including but not limited to polymers, colloids, interfaces, gels, emulsions, foams, suspensions, and biomaterials.

Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are invited to present their research in oral and poster sessions chaired by faculty members, followed by discussions. We hope to inspire collaboration among all participants.
