SLAMLab had a lot of fun at the SD Soft Matter conference: https://sdsoftmatter.com

Hunter, Corbyn, Mauricio, and Anthony presented posters!

SLAMLab welcomes several new members to the group this summer!

Anthony Estrada – a physics major working on macroscopic active matter

Ryan Muoio – a masters student in physics working on entropy production in non-equilibrium systems

Lauren Nguyen – a chemistry major working on active enzymes and active swimmers

Congratulations to Vanni Petrolli, Magali Le Goff, and Monika Tadrous for their interesting paper published in PRL on confinement-induced transition in wavelike collective cell migration!  Monika worked with the LiPhy group during a summer research exchange (iREU) in 2018.

Lots of great activity going on in the last couple of months, here’s a short update:

• SLAMLab at APS March Meeting in Boston, MA – Congratulations to Corbyn, Hunter, and Mauricio for presenting their recent research progress at APS!
• Dr. Ahmed attended an exciting interdisciplinary workshop on Negative Pressure in Multiphase Environments at the University of Ulm – looking forward to some new negative pressure experiments!
• Congratulations to Mauricio and Sara for being awarded the Dan Black Family Fellowship!
• Congratulations to Corbyn for being awarded the Dan Black Family Phys-Bus Fellowship!
• Congratulations to Hunter for being awarded the Eiker Adams Award!
• Congratulations to Alex, Hunter, and Sara for being admitted to the Princeton University –  Physics of Life Summer School!
