Hannah Jonas defends her PhD


Dr. Hannah Jonas has successfully defended her dissertation titled Colloidal patchy particle architectures: Simulations of accurate models in and out of equilibrium. She was promoted by Prof. Peter Bolhuis from HIMS and Prof. Peter Schall from IoP. In her thesis, she used patchy colloidal particles interacting via critical Casimir interactions as mesoscopic analogues for molecular, […]
