Suspensions, Microhydrodynamics, and Active and Living systems
About SMAL
SMAL is a research group at Villanova University, focusing on modeling the intricate dynamics of small particles in fluids, with a focus on soft, active, and living materials at the colloidal scale.
Led by Prof. Gesse Roure, we develop new theoretical and computational models to tackle different challenges in soft matter, complex fluids, and biophysics.
