The spontaneous emergence of patterns is ubiquitous in nature and leads to systems of extraordinary beauty. Since patterns are formed out of non-equilibrium states, understanding pattern formation remains challenging and progress relies on innovative experiments.
Our group explores the underlying mechanisms governing pattern formation by following two main lines of research.
We study pattern growth morphologies in complex fluids emerging due to fluid instabilities or material failure.
We investigate soft matter systems aiming to assess the relation between structural organization and mechanical properties, which will open routes toward the creation of materials with improved and ultimately tunable properties.
