Making plans for next summer?
The International School of Physics Enrico Fermi is holding a Summer School on Soft Matter Self-Assembly on June 28-July 7 2015 in Varenna, Italy.
The 10-day school will be a great opportunity for PhD students and postdocs to engage with the some of the most exciting and current topics in the physics of colloids, through a series of mini-courses and seminars hosted by leading figures in the field.
Topics include:
- Colloids with directional bonding (David Pine, New York University, US)
- Pathways to self-organization (Christoph Dellago, University of Vienna, Austria)
- Particles at interfaces (Kathleen Stebe, University of Pennsylvania, US)
- Self-assembly hydrodynamics (Julia Yeomans, Oxford University, UK)
- Driven self-assembly (Peter Schurtenberger, Lund University, Sweden )
- Polymer structure and dynamics (Michael Rubinstein, University of North Carolina, US)
- Liquid-crystal colloid dispersions (Randall Kamien, University of Pennsylvania, US)
- DNA-based self-assembly (Oleg Gang, Brookhaven National University, US)
- Self-organizing nanosystems (Willem Kegel, Utrecht University, the Netherlands)
