Alice Thorneywork

Alice Thorneywork is an Associate Professor of Physical Chemistry and Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Chemistry. Her research interests focus on experimental soft matter and nanoscale systems, particularly in the areas of colloids, microfluidics, solid-state nanopores, and DNA nanotechnology. Her work explores fluctuations and transport of materials in driven, out-of-equilibrium systems, with applications in biological transport, molecular sensing, and DNA sequencing. She also investigates ionic transport in solid-state nanopores and microfluidic transport of colloidal fluids, combining experimental and theoretical approaches to understand non-equilibrium phenomena.

Alice L. Thorneywork is a researcher at the University of Oxford, specializing in Soft Condensed Matter, Biophysics, and Colloids. Her work focuses on the behavior of colloidal systems, particularly two-dimensional colloidal hard spheres, and their dynamics under various conditions. She investigates phenomena such as melting, radial distribution functions, self-diffusion, and collective dynamics in colloidal systems. Her research also explores the interplay between hydrodynamic interactions and structural properties, as well as the use of advanced techniques like dynamical density functional theory and noise analysis to study colloidal and nanopore systems. Her contributions span both fundamental and applied aspects of soft matter physics and biophysics.
