College Courses

  Fall 2011 Harvard University Applied Physics 225 Introduction to Soft Matter
 
Introduction to soft condensed matter, or “complex fluids,” including polymers, colloids, liquid crystals, and biological structures. Emphasis on physical principles that govern bulk behavior. Students will understand the concepts, experimental techniques, and open questions.
  Spring 2012 Harvard University Applied Physics 226 Capillarity and Wetting
    Consider phenomena strongly influenced by surface tensions, high curvatures, thin films, diffusion, adsorption, wetting, which are variously mobile, dynamic, polymeric, transient, fragile. Emphasis on the physics, thermodynamics, rheological and scaling laws that govern bulk behavior.
Prerequisite: Knowledge of thermodynamics and basic statistical mechanics and some familiarity with phase diagrams and differential equations.


Customised Short Courses

The Dispersions in Liquids course may be scheduled for presentation in-house at a time and place convenient for your organization.

In-house courses can be specialized:      
  • The agenda can be shortened to create a 1-day course.
• Topics can be expanded for a multiple day course.
• A course can be focused on topics of interest to your organization.
   
       
Examples of specialized courses previously given:
  • Particle-based display technologies    
  • Dispersions in nanotechnologies    
  • Dispersions for biodiagnostics
