Mini School

Understanding soft matter systems requires an integrated approach combining experimental imaging, theoretical modeling, and computational analysis. The Mini School runs May 22-24, 2026 and is designed for graduate students, early-career researchers, and professionals in soft matter, biophysics, and materials science.

Theme 1

Microscopy & Imaging

Microscopy, scattering and imaging methods that probe the structure and dynamics of soft matter, including fluorescence/confocal microscopy, light and X-ray scattering, and multimodal techniques.
