معرفی
Sofia Magkiriadou is a Senior Researcher in the Department of Physics at the University of Fribourg, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Medicine. Her research focuses on advanced materials science, particularly in the development of structurally colored materials, photonic crystals, and active matter systems. She explores phenomena such as light transport in disordered systems, chiral fluid dynamics, and colloidal self-assembly, with applications in nanotechnology and biomimetic design.
Her work spans disciplines including condensed matter physics, optics, and materials engineering. Recent studies investigate structural color in bioinspired materials, bandgap engineering in hyperuniform dielectrics, and the dynamics of chiral crystals. She also examines odd viscosity and flow instabilities in active fluids, contributing to our understanding of non-equilibrium systems.
Publications highlight her contributions to colloidal templating techniques, manufacturing scalable structural color materials, and analyzing light scattering in amorphous photonic materials. Her research bridges fundamental physics with applied materials science, addressing challenges in both academic and industrial contexts.
