Dynamics of complex interfaces: biomimetic membranes, charged droplets, and active fluids

Session Abstract

Interfaces abound in multiphase materials and living organisms. In this talk, I will overview the research in my group to understand the interrelation between interfacial dynamics and macroscale behavior of soft matter systems. Examples include electrohydrodynamic streaming producing a “Saturnian” drop, thermally-driven curvature fluctuation of lipid bilayers, and amoeba-like crawling of a droplet enclosing active particles.
