Active Matter | Fluid and Statistical Mechanics
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta. Our group develops theoretical machinery and high-performance (e.g., CUDA-enabled) computational libraries to study the mechanics of soft and active matter. The key aim is to bridge the gap between micromechanics of constitutive particles and macroscopic phenomena.
I earned my Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from Caltech under the supervision of John Brady.
Current research topics include transport, microrheology, statistical mechanics, fluctuations, and collective motion of colloidal (active) matter.
If you are interested in joining our group, please read this page. For any other inquires, please contact Dr. Peng.
