Welcome to the AM/FM Lab!

We are a group of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians interested in working on problems in soft-matter physics. In particular, we use a combination of experiment, simulation, and theory to investigate problems in active matter physics and fluid mechanics, with many problems being at the intersection of the two fields.

Interested in joining? Check out the team, our research, and outreach. Send Jack an email to learn more and discuss current projects.
