assist. prof. Žiga Kos
My research includes the topics of non-equilibrium soft matter with the emphasis on active matter and liquid crystal flows. I also explore how soft materials can be used for logic operations and computation.
I collaborate with industrial partner Novartis on the topic of protein quality attributes.
