The 14th Northeast Complex Fluids and Soft Matter (NCS14) Workshop

The Northeast Complex Fluids and Soft Matter (NCS) Workshop brings together researchers working on the science and engineering of complex fluids and soft matter, including polymers, granular materials, biomaterials, colloids, foams, and liquid crystals. This informal workshop will bring together researchers to exchange ideas and foster collaborations. The workshops host a mix of invited talks, short presentations, and networking time.

The 14th Northeast Complex Fluids and Soft Matter (NCS) workshop will be held virtually on January 15th, 2021. The NCS workshop is a one-day event hosted bi-annually at research universities in the NJ/NY/CT area. Previous workshops were held at Rutgers University, City College of New York, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Stony Brook University, NYU Tandon, Stevens Institute of Technology, Columbia University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania and Manhattan College.
