Soft Matter and Colloidal Science
The Richards Lab at Northwestern University
Opportunity for Soft Matter:
- Engineering structure and dynamics out of equilibrium.
- Using the linkage between the microstructure and macroscale properties as a paradigm for design.
Diversity and Inclusion
In the Richards Lab, we strive to create a welcoming environment where our members can freely express their identities. Our lab is committed to not only recruiting the most talented undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers, but to fostering a culture where an individual’s identity is allowed to thrive. If you are interested in joining us, feel free to reach out to Dr. Richards or to one of our existing team members.
