Bandol Summer School on Liquid Crystals

PA040390-2
For the first time in several years, the Bandol Summer School on Liquid Crystals took place again in the end of September - beginning of October. Jan was one of the teachers and JungHyun and Zory took part as students. We had a great time with a curious and imaginative group of students (and teachers), making the school as nice an experience as it was during previous years.

Course on Soft Matter Nanotechnology running

Jan gave the first lecture in his course on Soft Matter Nanotechnology today. It will run every Tuesday and Thursday during the spring semester (until June 9th). For more information, see the course homepage.
