The ACS Colloid & Surface Science Symposium will be held at NC State from June 4-7. Abstract submission is now open. Please RT -- this is an especially student-friendly conference with plenty of #colloid science to go around. Visit colloids2023.org for more information!

Our preprint is out now on biorxiv : doi.org/10.1101/2023.01.27.5…. In this work we investigate the interplay between interaction strength and sequence composition on phase separation of model disordered proteins. @JeetainMittal @Dsundara993 @drmphoward
Simulators! We are working on releasing some of our tools. This week's is lammpsio, (yet another) Python package for reading & writing LAMMPS data & dump files. We think the interface is pretty clean in our workflows. Available @ pypi.org/project/lammpsio
Looking forward to working on this project with Mayukh and Arash!
Asst. ChemE prof. Michael Howard received a 3-year NSF grant to investigate new strategies for making colloidal supraparticles, a soft material for applications ranging from catalyzing chemical reactions to creating brilliant structural coloration.

Interested in what thermodynamic models are good for drying suspensions? Love stat mech & hard spheres? Mayukh's first paper is available on arXiv! doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2208.…

Congratulations to my colleague Jian Qin (sadly not on Twitter) who received this year's Dillon Medal!! Jian is a brilliant polymer physicist, supportive mentor to his students, and thoughtful colleague...a well-deserved honor! @APS_DPOLY @StanfordEng aps.org/programs/honors/priz…
Is MPCD a good model for colloidal suspensions? Yes (mostly), and it’s easy to apply to complex particle shapes! Preprint with Arash and talented Auburn undergraduate Grace is on arXiv arxiv.org/abs/2110.06029
First day of school (again)! It's been quite a year, but I'm super excited to officially start my career at @AuburnU. Looking forward to sharing and pushing forward my work on soft materials with great chemical engineering students! (Old picture... it's cold here!)
Big thanks to @PennStateChE (& Scott Milner), @EPrinceton (& Thanos Panagiotopoulos) and @TexasChE (& @TM_Truskett), and of course @greenrache and many others for helping me get here!!
Design of molecular properties like flexibility can enhance our control over linked colloid assemblies. Great work by undergraduate student Adithya Sreenivasan is up on arXiv! arxiv.org/abs/2011.12512
Statistical mechanics predicts the prevalence of common bonding motifs in linked colloid assemblies (& how we might avoid them). Our recent work is up on arXiv! arxiv.org/abs/2010.08027

This morning's THON 5k with @greenrache was special because it's been 10 years since my first! Help the largest student-run philanthropy end childhood cancer at thon.org! #RunWithUsFTK

Very fun and cool science led by Manny! Also a great example of how experiments and simulations work together to make new materials!

Computer simulations and multicomponent diffusion models explain how evaporating solvent controls the composition of polymer superparticles. My recent work with Arash in J. Chem. Phys. doi.org/10.1063/5.0014429
Congratulations Zach! You have some super interesting ideas for this fellowship!
I'm unbelievably excited to be named an Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow! HUGE thanks to @TM_Truskett for his contribution to the mentor portion of the application and @Jim_Swan for a letter of rec! Can't wait to do some great science with @BeckmanFnd!
