Hi! I am Mazi Jalaal. I study fluids or solids, living or non-living, and things in between for life.

News, Updates, Seminars & talks

I will be joining the Institute of Physics at the University of Amsterdam as an Assistant Professor in January 2021!

This website will be archived in the next few months.
