Research is the Osuji lab is centered on experimental studies of structure and dynamics of various soft systems. We investigate supramolecular ordering in self-assembling materials, rheology of complex fluids, and work on the development of microfluidic colloid and polymer science as a platform for model studies of locomotion and transport in biomimetic systems. We employ various microscopies (optical, electron, atomic force), scattering (visible light, x-ray), rheology and other methods, along with some basic polymer and small molecule synthesis.
