  • To register for this event please email here.

    • Workshop goals

  • The principal aim of this three-day workshop is to exploit synergistic links between between the Complex Fluids Group at Princeton and the University of Oxford to establish collaborative projects in the broad spectrum of overlapping research interests in complex fluid flows.

  • This builds upon the first Oxford/Princeton workshop held in Princeton in January 2011. Click here
