معرفی
L. (Lisa) Tran serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Utrecht University's Faculty of Science, affiliated with the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science. Her primary research focus lies within the Soft Condensed Matter group, contributing to the university's Pathways to Sustainability (PtS) initiative.
Her research explores fundamental organizing principles of soft and biological materials, with specialized expertise in liquid crystals and bioinspired materials. The Tran Group investigates physical phenomena in soft matter systems, emphasizing sustainable material design and experimental approaches to cellular physics. Research spans interdisciplinary domains connecting physics, chemistry, and biological systems through the lens of soft condensed matter theory and experimentation.
Dr. Tran teaches across multiple advanced physics courses including Bachelor's Thesis in Chemistry, Biological and Soft Matter Physics, Experimental Soft Matter, and Physics of the Cell. Her laboratory operates from the Leonard S. Ornstein Laboratory (Princetonplein 1, Room 0.56B, 3584 CC Utrecht), serving as the base for the Tran Group's experimental work in soft matter physics.
