Daphne Klotsa, PI
I am an associate professor in the Department of Applied Physical Sciences at UNC-Chapel Hill. See also here. My CV can be found here.
My interests are in soft matter, specifically active matter, fluid dynamics, swimmers, robots, self-assembly, packing shapes, and granular dynamics. Although my background is in physics, I value enormously the experience I have gleaned from working in Engineering and Chemistry departments, in addition to Physics.
