Soft Matter Days: April 8-17, will feature invited guest speakers discussing a variety of interdisciplinary topics in soft matter and complex fluids. These topics sit at the interface of chemical & mechanical engineering, materials science, physics, chemistry, and biology. Guest speakers will discuss real-world phenomena found in food, blood flow, and granular materials. Two talks are guest lectures in CHME5179: RSVP required for those not in the class.
