Research interests:
Jasna Brujic is a Professor of Physics at New York University. She is one of the core faculty in the Center for Soft Matter Research. Brujic is an experimental physicist, who received her Ph.D. for work on the statistical mechanics of granular matter at the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge, UK.   She then conducted post-doctoral research at Columbia University in the area of single molecule dynamics. Since 2007, Brujic has led a research group at the interface between soft matter physics and biophysics. The group uses biomimetic emulsion systems to study jammed matter, cellular organization in tissues in 3D, protein-protein adhesion, and programmable self-assembly of materials with custom designs. She is currently on sabbatical as the Chair Blaise Pascal at the ESPCI in France. 

Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge and also Royal Society Research Professor.
Professor Cates is a member of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. He heads the Soft Matter research group

Research Interests:
Flow of colloids, polymers, emulsions, gels and other soft materials; shear-thickening and rheology in dense suspensions; dynamics of soft glasses; flow of liquid crystals; general theories of active matter; cellular locomotion; phase ordering in active and passive systems; statistical mechanics of active particles; and numerous other topics.

He currently holds an ERC Advanced Grant called ADNeSP: Active and Driven Systems, Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics.

Degrees:
MSc in Physical Chemistry (University of Amsterdam), PhD Physical Chemistry (University of Amsterdam)

Research interests:
My research focuses on numerical simulations of many-body systems, with special emphasis on problems relating to the prediction of stability and kinetics in complex self-assembly in soft and biological materials.

Professor of Soft Matter at Leeds. International Foundatin Year Co-ordinator and Bulletin Editor of British Society of Rheology.
Daniel is part of the Complex Materials and Industrial Mathematics Group and is the Leeds Local Director in the Centre for Doctoral Training in Soft Matter for Formulation and Industrial Innovation

Research Interests:
Theoretical polymer physics, rheology and coarse grained modelling of biological molecules. Links between molecular structure, molecular dynamics, flow properties, and reaction chemistry of polymer materials. Understanding this often involves large multidisciplinary teams, including mathematicians, physicists, chemists and engineers.
