Members of the project team supervised 2 PhD students who finished in 2013 (G. Kokot in B. Kavčič). After the PhD one was employed as a postdoctoral researcher at Zurich University (later at Argonne National Laboratory) and the other in LPKF d.o.o.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2545508Within the project group Ivna Kavre finished her PhD under the supervision of D. Babič in 2014. Her work focused on fabrication and experiments with non-spherical colloidal particles. Among others she produced microgears consisting of magnetic PDMS for use in microfluidic applications, whose parameters were optimized within the frame of this project. Additionally, she used ellipsoidal particles that exert autonomous oscillations in a focused laser beam to study the hydrodynamic interactions between particles, which can serve as a model system for biological cilia. Her doctoral training was covered by EU funds (ITN Marie Curie). She is now employed at the Univesity of Rijeka.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2734180In the invited talk at a workshop organized at the European centre CECAM in Lausanne I presented the results on the subject of dynamically self-assembled colloidal vortices in a magnetic field. The workshop also allowed us to foster new collaborations in the field of colloidal particle physics.
