The Poon labs is concerned with ‘all things squishy’. They use experiments, computer simulations, and theoretical calculations to study colloids, bacteria, and gels. Host: Daniela Kraft.

The van der Waals colloquium takes place at 16:00 sharp in the Sitterzaal, and is followed by a borrel (Beer! Snacks! Physics!). Each colloquium starts with an opening act by a local student (10min) before the main talk (45+10min). Unless otherwise noted, a special coffee hour for PhD students takes place on the morning of the colloquium, 11.30 – 12.30h in the C.J.Gorterzaal (1^st floor Oortbuilding).

If you would like to talk to the guest, please contact Yvonne (Kerkhof@Physics.LeidenUniv.nl) or the host.
