[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Solution Landscapes and Inverse Problems in the Landau-de Gennes theory for Liquid Crystals

Liquid crystals (LCs) are beautiful smart materials that combine fluidity and softness with the structural order of solids. At a basic level, LCs are anisotropic or directional soft materials with distinguished material directions, referred to as "directors". Read more
