The UK Hydrogels Network aims to bring together researchers from a range of different fields working on the modelling, design and applications of poroelastic media like hydrogels, or the understanding of physical systems for which gels provide a useful analogue. Specifically, we aim to connect mathematical modellers, chemical physicists and others interested in the fundamentals of how these materials behave with those working on designing and building gel devices in the laboratory or industry, or those understanding the applications of gels to medicine and complex biological systems.
Our members come from a range of backgrounds in fluid and solid mechanics, thermodynamics, experimental physics, mathematical biology, soft matter physics or medicine, but we're always looking to connect with people who may be interested in gels in other contexts.
What we do
What we do
We run a mailing list where members can share information on events, PhD positions or job postings, including a monthly roundup for the network as a whole.
✒️ Click here to sign up to the list - it's the best way to stay in touch with usWe provide networking opportunities between industry, experimental scientists, and mathematical modellers working with hydrogels and other soft, biologically-relevant materials
We run a series of online research seminars to keep abreast of what others are working on.
Seminars typically run on Tuesdays or Thursdays - see the events page for more informationWe run workshops and other events where we can meet together and share research and techniques.
We collate a series of resources for those working on hydrogels.
More details to be confirmed here shortly.We manage a directory of researchers in the network to make it easy to find people with expertise in any area.
