Ingo Dierking is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester, specializing in the physics of liquid crystals and soft matter. His research focuses on the self-organizing properties of liquid crystals, particularly in relation to nanotube dispersions and their applications in electronic and optical fields. He is also involved in studying the behavior of colloidal particles dispersed in liquid crystals and their response to external fields. Dierking investigates the properties of lyotropic graphene oxide liquid crystals and their thermotropic transitions, contributing to the field of carbon-based nanomaterials. His work encompasses the exploration of chirality in anisotropic fluids and its novel phenomena, as well as the electro-optic properties of polymer-stabilized liquid crystals. Moreover, he has researched coarsening dynamics in liquid crystalline systems, addressing the fundamental physics of these materials. Dierking has published extensively in soft matter-related journals and serves on the Editorial Board of journals dedicated to liquid crystal research. He is an active member of several scientific societies, contributing to conferences and editorial activities in the field.
