W. Benjamin Rogers

Person

Ben was a research associate in Applied Physics who studied a variety of problems in the area of soft and biologically-inspired materials, including colloidal self-assembly, light scattering and diffusion in nanoparticle films, and responsive photonic...

Julia Harms

Person

Julia was a visiting undergraduate researcher who studied phycobilisome dissociation and diffusion in cyanobacteria. Outside of the lab, Julia enjoys very long walks and visual arts.

Victoria Hwang

Person

Victoria was PhD student in Applied Physics studying the self-assembly of amorphous colloidal photonic materials. She focused on designing novel techniques for creating structurally-colored films, with an emphasis on expanding the range of colors and...

Ron Alexander

Person

Ron was a PhD student in Physics working on characterizing colloidal systems using holographic microscopy. He earned his PhD in 2020.

Stefania Ketzetzi

Person

Stefania is a postdoc studying disassembly of protein complexes and lysis of microbes. Her goal is to understand how tiny living systems destabilize and break apart, thereby laying the groundwork for a theory of biological disassembly. Her background is...

Kai Torrens

Person

Kai is a PhD student in Physics studying short-range interactions in colloidal and biological systems. Outside his experiments and calculations, Kai likes board games, going to museums, and walking outside.

Colour Me... Structurally?

News
Victoria continues the podcast circuit as a guest on Science for the People. Have a listen to learn more about her work on structual color.

DNA and colloids

Page
Short, custom-designed DNA molecules can be used to create "programmable" interactions between colloidal particles, meaning that we can control how the particles self-assemble through the DNA sequences. Currently we are trying to create colloids with...

Colloids and interfaces

Page
Using digital holographic microscopy, we study how colloidal particles bind to oil-water interfaces. Small particles have a natural affinity for interfaces, and this affinity can be used to control their self-assembly and make some interesting materials...

Artificial cells

Page
We worked as part of a larger collaboration to build an artificial cell that mimics the behavior of a living cell. Our focus is on understanding and mimicking intracellular transport.
