Physics, soft matter physics
Paulose is a recipient of a 2022 National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the NSF鈥檚 most prestigious award in support of early-career faculty. Paulose and his research group study soft-matter physics and the behavior of natural, biological, and artificial materials, including micromechanical resonators, miniature robots, and even bacteria. They use concepts of theoretical condensed matter physics to design artificial materials and understand evolving biological populations. Paulose earned his master鈥檚 and PhD in applied physics at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and conducted post-doctorate research at Leiden University in the Netherlands and at University of California, Berkeley, before joining the University of Oregon faculty in 2018.

Simon A. Rogers is an associate professor in the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. He uses experimental and computational tools to understand and model advanced colloidal, polymeric, and self-assembled materials. Rogers investigates the fundamental physics behind time-dependent phenomena exhibited by soft matter under deformation for biomedical, energy, and environment applications.
