The Soft Matter Laboratory Probing matter from the microscopic to the mesoscopic
Our lab exploits the fundamental interaction of all matter with electromagnetic fields in order to probe the workings of nature. We observe dynamic processes that happen in time scales of 100s of femtoseconds to even days or weeks. This is the equivalent of watching molecular interactions (femtosecond durations) and the slow drip of a stained glass window (months) at the same time
A few of our current projects are:

Structure and non-exponential dynamics in glass forming systems
