Ellen D. Klein

Person

Ellen Klein was a Ph.D. student in Physics who studied the self-assembly of colloidal clusters, with an emphasis on understanding what colloidal particles can tell us about entropy, phase transitions, and, possibly, biological systems. Ellen was a 2015...

Jacquie Ho

Person

Jacqie was an undergraduate researcher from Harvard College, where she concentrated in Physics with a secondary in Music.  She worked with Ellen, Maya, and Aaron to investigate colloidal self assembly under competing forces.

Welcome Zach, Tony, Alex, and Maille

News
Zachary Chambers, Alex Gough, Tony Miller, and Maille Radford have joined the lab. Zach is a rising sophomore at Harvard and will be working with Viva on the artificial cells project. Alex is a high school student working with Aaron on building a dark...

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...

Holographic microscopy

Page
We use a fast imaging method called holographic microscopy to watch self-assembling systems. In a holographic microscope, the sample is illuminated by laser light, and the resulting image (or hologram) can be used to determine the 3D structure, position...

Colloidal clusters

Page
We do experiments on some of the simplest self-assembling systems, called "colloidal clusters," to understand the basic physics of self-assembly. The clusters consists of a small number (say, fewer than 10 or so) spherical colloidal particles that attract...
