Welcome to the Takatori Lab!
Our objective is to understand and control complex fluids with unusual physical properties.
We use theory, experiment, and data-driven methods to design multifunctional, “living” materials.

Colloids and Biological Interfaces
Engineering colloidal self-assembly and suspension dynamics via interface modulation, inspired by the unique physical properties of biological membranes.
Understanding the dynamics of complex biological interfaces, using engineered molecular probes on reconstituted and live cell membranes.
Active Matter
Controlling the dynamics of active matter using in-vitro experiments and particle-based theories.
Using nonequilibrium forces to tune material properties in thin films and colloidal suspensions.
