Soft and Active Matter at Micro and Nano Scale

Kandula Research Group


Understanding soft matter and complex fluids

using direct visualization tools lies at the heart of our group

Research in our group is driven by inquisitiveness to discover and understated fundamental physical principles behind the diverse emergent phenomena observed in soft and active materials. Examples from our current and past research include collective behavior in active matter, bio-inspired colloid assembly, crystallization, glass transition. To study these phenomena our go to systems thus far have been simple colloidal suspensions, self-propelled colloids, and polymers. We are in the process of adding biologically relevant materials to this list.
