Now on the engineering page is a story from Andrej Košmrlj’s group about a new simulation method for engineering complex liquid mixtures with multiple phases — aka fancy lava lamps.

The work began as the junior paper of Milena Chakraverti-Wuerthwein, a physics concentrator from Princeton’s Class of 2020. Chakraverti-Wuerthwein, who will begin a Ph.D. program in biophysical sciences at the University of Chicago in 2021, said it was gratifying to see “that this kernel of an idea that I came up with ended up being something valuable that could be expanded into a more broadly applicable tool.”
