We review our recent contributions to anisotropic soft matter models for liquid crystal interfaces, drops and membranes, emphasizing validations with experimental and biological …
Egg cartons, known as doubly sinusoidal surfaces, display a rich variety of saddles-cylinder- spherical patches organized with different spatial symmetries and connectivities. Egg carton …

Periodic micro and nano-structured surfaces in nature are responsible for functionalities including structural colour, superhydrophobicity, where wrinkling plays a significant role. The …
This review presents theory and simulation of liquid crystal phase ordering in biological fibrous materials, solutions, and composites in the presence of elastic fields, second phase …
Surface wrinkling is closely linked to a significant number of surface functionalities such as wetting, structural colour, tribology, frictions, biological growth and more. Given its ubiquity in …
