Research in the group focuses on the science and engineering of soft matter, especially in the fluid state. This is a fascinating, exciting and relevant area with both fundamental aspects and applications in product design or processing operations. There is a strong focus on colloidal dispersions and their applications. More specifically, research is structured around three lines of research:


  1. Bullet Study of the relation between rheology and structure of colloidal and nanoparticle dispersions, with an emphasis on weakly aggregated systems of spherical and non-spherical particles.

  2. Bullet Soft matter composites : Nanocomposites and the behavior of particles in viscoelastic fluids : structure, dynamics and rheology

  3. Bullet Complex fluid interfaces and interfacial rheology, self-assembly of spherical and non-spherical colloids at interfaces
