Tracking the time evolution of soft matter systems via topological structural heterogeneity
Communications Materials, 2022 Persistent homology is an effective topological data analysis tool to quantify the structural and morphological features of soft materials, but so far it has not been used to characterise the dynamical behaviour of complex soft matter systems.

Digital holography as metrology tool at micro-nanoscale for soft matter
Light: Advanced Manufacturing, 2022 The appearance of the first laser approximately 12 years after the invention of holography by Gabor (1948) revolutionized the field of optical metrology.

Soft matter science and the COVID-19 pandemic. [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2020 Much of the science underpinning the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic lies in the soft matter domain. Coronaviruses are composite particles with a core of nucleic acids complexed to proteins surrounded by a protein-studded lipid bilayer shell.

Characterising soft matter using machine learning.
Soft Matter, 2021 Machine learning is making a major impact in materials research. I review current progress across a selection of areas of ubiquitous soft matter.

Scientific Reports, 2022 A novel environmentally friendly recycling method is developed for large carbon-fibers reinforced-polymers composite panels whose efficiency is demonstrated through a proof-of-concept fabrication of a new composite part based on recycled fibers.

Onsager's variational principle in active soft matter. [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2020 Onsagers variational principle (OVP) was originally proposed by Lars Onsager in 1931 [L. Onsager, Phys. Rev., 1931, 37, 405]. This fundamental principle provides a very powerful tool for formulating thermodynamically consistent models.

Soft matter dynamics: A versatile microgravity platform to study dynamics in soft matter [PDF]
Review of Scientific Instruments, 2021 We describe an experiment container with light scattering and imaging diagnostics for experiments on soft matter aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The suite of measurement capabilities can be used to study different materials in exchangeable sample cell units.

Splay-bend nematic phases of bent colloidal silica rods induced by polydispersity
Nature Communications, 2022 Different shapes of molecules or particles can exhibit various liquid crystal phases. The authors report on an experimental discovery of a so called splay-bend nematic liquid crystal phase in a colloidal system of bent silica rods.

Observational constraints on soft dark energy and soft dark matter: challenging $Λ$CDM [PDF]
Nucl.Phys.B 986 (2023) 116042, 2021 Soft cosmology is an extension of standard cosmology allowing for a scale-dependent equation-of-state (EoS) parameter in the dark sectors, which is one of the properties of soft materials in condensed-matter physics, that may arise either intrinsically or effectively.
