Christian Aponte-Rivera
IDEA Fellow Lecturer. Soft materials, such as polymers and colloids, have a wide array of technological applications and are central to our understanding of biological systems and diseases.  My research work focuses on utilizing computational and theoretical tools to predict the properties of soft materials.
