Had a fantastic time visiting DAMTP in Cambridge this week. What a stunning academic setting and beautiful old campus.

9th International Soft Matter Conference, Crete.

First day back on campus after my vacation. Did I tell you I have the best group?

To introduce myself to this new community, I will share some of my previous research projects. In my postdoc with @robinras.bsky.social, I developed the micropipette force sensor to measure the tiny friction of water droplets moving on extremely slippery superhydrophobic surfaces. Details below.

I'm reading the wonderful book Beautiful Experiments by @philipcball.bsky.social: "Experiments are at the core of science. It is typically by experimentation that scientific discoveries are made."

I couldn't agree more. Long live curiosity-driven experimentation with counterintuitive discoveries.
