Oscar figured out how we can calculate membrane bending rigidity from capacitance measurements on free-standing phospholipid bilayers, and how asymmetric calcium concentration impacts the rigidity of zwitterionic and anionic membranes. Congratulations!
Omoregie Bright has joined the group as a PhD student. He will be synthesizing magnetic field responsive colloids and studying their assembly at fluid interfaces. Welcome Omoregie!
We’ve teamed up with Prof. Manasa Kandula (Physics) and have been awarded a seed grant to study the dynamics of active janus particles at flexible fluid interfaces!
Peter gave a poster at the Colloidal, Macromolecular and Polyelectrolyte Solutions Gordon Research Conference this week. First GRC, won’t be the last!
Heather gave an excellent presentation on her thesis “Bottom-up Morphological Control of Polymer Particles via Heterogeneous Polymerization”. Heather was primarily advised by Laura Bradley in PSE and became coadvised to spend the last few months of her PhD in the Beltramo group. Congratulations Heather!
