For best website and registration experience, we recommend using a PC or laptop. You may also use a mobile device.

Soft matter is ubiquitous in engineering and biological systems ranging from organic tissue to thousand-mile-long underwater pipes. It is an interdisciplinary field of engineering that focuses on 1) the synthesize of constituent material with exotic properties, 2) the advanced manufacturing of these materials to create complex multi-functional structures, and 3) the integration of these structures to assemble the next generation engineering systems.

The goal of the Texas Soft Matter Meeting is to encourage collaboration among researchers from industry and academia in Texas who work with soft materials, ranging from polymers to soft condensed matter to biomaterials. This workshop will rotate between institutions in Texas and be held annually. Each meeting will include longer invited talks, short contributed talks, and unstructured time. We envision that this meeting will provide an interdisciplinary forum in which faculty, students, postdocs, and professionals can exchange ideas in an informal setting.
