ABOUT

Personal Statement
Joe is a colloid scientist (MSci Physics, Bristol, 2011; PhD Physics, Edinburgh, 2015) with interests in 3D Printing, Soft Matter, Microfluidics, and Tissue Engineering. He held prior appointments at Croda (2016), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2016-2018), and University College London (2018-2023). He has worked on soft matter formulation, liquid-phase 3D-printing technology, and nanomedicine for targeted drug delivery. Joe started a joint appointment between the Departments of Physics and Chemistry in April 2023.

Fellowships
We're looking to support Fellowship applicants aligned with our current Industry and Research Agency grants in:
- Bioprinting and Angiogenesis for Vascularised Tissue Models and Injectables
- Granular Microgels for Wound Healing
- Soft Matter Research Automation
- Blue-Skies Active Matter.

Important Fellowship deadlines throughout the year include:
- Newton International Fellowships - Open in March, close in April
- MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships - Open in April
- 1851 Fellowships - Open in October


PhD Studentships
In previous years, we've been successful in raising support from industrial partners including Syngenta and Unilever and secured studentships from the Liverpool CDT in Digital and Automated Materials Chemistry and the China Scholarship Council.

Research Overview
We use 3D printing, robotics, microscopy, and image analysis to make fundamental findings in colloids, soft and active matter, and biophysics. We turn this knowledge into new technologies with applications in energy storage, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Our work has been covered in Vice and Wired. We focus on 3 core themes:
