About me

M.Sc Tianjin University. Thesis title: Interfacialflow of immiscible fluids

 

I am an experimental physicist student focused on the flow and deformation of multiphase fluids. Deeply fascinatedby how colloids, acting as "big atoms," in many ways, offer a window into the behaviors of atomic systems, I hope to fuel my enthusiasm for colloid science, where experimental exploration bridges fundamental principles and real-world phenomena.

About my PhD research

Subject: Rheology and shear-induced state transitions in filled gels: an hydrous model systems

Research description: For my PhD research,I will study the flow and microscopic structure of soft “colloidal gels”. I will conduct experiments to investigate how the flow history alter the ge lproperties, and will also explore how adding larger spheres to these gels alters the flow history dependence. Eventually, I hope to uncover generic soft matter physics governing the mechanical properties of these colloidal gels.
