A non-equilibrium defect pattern around two colloidal particles in a nematic liquid crystal. Our research interest covers a variety of topics in soft matter physics, such as granular matter, liquid crystals, colloids, and liquid crystal elastomers. Our theoretical approaches are strongly linked with experiments and range from macroscopic phenomenology to microscopic molecular modeling. The experimental techniques include atomic and scanning tunneling microscopy, laser tweezing, and ellipsometry. Theory and simulation group Experimental group Together with partners from Jožef Stefan Institute, our group constitutes a national research program Physics of Soft Matter, Surfaces and Nanostructures.
