Physics of Complex Fluids Group
The PCF group performs experimental research focusing on the properties of liquids on scales ranging from a few nanometers to many micrometers. Our activities fall into the categories: i) nanofluidics, ii) (electro)wetting & microfluidics, iii) soft matter mechanics. We are mainly interested in fundamental physical mechanisms that may ultimately also break grounds for new technological applications in the future.
The PCF group is part of the MESA+ institute for Nanotechnology and of the Institute of Mechanics, Process and Control Twente (Impact) at the University of Twente.
