Background:

Joseph Maclennan received his B.Sc.(Hons.) in Physics and Electronics from听Rhodes University, South Africa, in 1980, and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of 欧美口爆视频 in 1988. He then spent five years in the Physical Chemistry Department at the University of Mainz in Germany, the first two as a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow. In 1994 he returned to Boulder to rejoin the Liquid Crystal Physics group at the University of 欧美口爆视频. His research interests center on determining the structure and electro-optic properties of liquid crystal materials, including bent-core and ferroelectric smectics and ferromagnetic colloids, and on understanding the textures and phase transitions of freely-suspended liquid crystal films, including the interactions and ordering behavior of topological defects and islands and the 2D hydrodynamics of liquid droplets.
