The Lab of Fluids and Photons at the University of San Diego
Here at the University of San Diego in the Department of Physics and Biophysics we look at a number of different soft and squishy materials (some living and some not) with a whole bunch of different optical microscopy methods.
Undergraduate students should check out an opportunity to work on research projects in Mexico over the 2024 summer. Details here: https://sites.google.com/view/nsf-ires-softmatter
We recently released code for differential dynamic microscopy, an image analysis method we use in several projects. For more on that, see our PyDDM documentation site.
