Kate talks about her work with a graduate student.

Graduate student Chris Burke gave a poster “Arrested Development (of Emulsions)” while undergraduate researcher Kate Voorhes presented her work on “Simulating Defect Textures on Coalescing Nematic Shells”. Tim Atherton, group PI, gave a 4 minute soundbite highlighting this latter recent project.

For those who couldn’t make the conference, we’ve put the posters up below. Here’s Chris’s Poster:
