Guido is elected member of the IOP LCFG Committee
Guido has been elected ordinary member of the Liquid and Complex Fluid Group (LCFG) Committee.
The LCFG is a special interest group of the Institute of Physics (IOP). The group membersare interested in the structure and dynamics of liquids and complex fluids, from microscopic to mesoscopic and macroscopic length scales. The member work encompasses systems that range from “simple” liquids to complex fluids and soft materials.

Special Issue "State-of-the-Art in Optical Trapping and Manipulation"
We are guest editing a Special Issue on MDPI Micromachines!
​
The Special Issue welcomes contributions on all aspects of optical
trapping and manipulation. These may comprise both theoretical
and experimental studies, and applications of optical manipulation
methods in fields including (but not limited to) single-molecule biophysics, cell biology, microrheology, colloidal interactions, nanotechnology, atmospheric chemistry, and fundamental optics are particularly welcome to showcase the breadth of the current research.
​
Submission deadline 30 November 2022. If you are interested to contribute a paper, contact us.
​
More information on the special issue is available here.

Naval wins best poster prize at Advanced School in Soft Condensed Matter “Solutions in the Summer”
The Advanced School in Soft Condensed Matter “Solutions in the Summer” is organised by the IOP Liquid and Complex Fluid Group (LCFG) to provide a comprehensive foundation for researchers in the field of soft matter, liquids and complex fluids. The school also scheduled a poster presentation event where attendees presented their research.
Naval presented his research on particle manipulation by diffusiophoresis and won the best poster prize. His account of the event was featured on the 2022 Newsletter of the IOP LCFG, available at this link.
