Laura Filion is an Associate Professor at the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science at Utrecht University, where she specializes in Soft Condensed Matter. Her research focuses on self-organization and the processes that lead to diverse phenomena such as the structural colors seen in gem opals and the wings of Morpho butterflies. Her work emphasizes the significance of computer simulations in investigating self-assembly processes and understanding the interactions between various building blocks, including atoms, molecules, proteins, and colloidal particles. She has extensively studied defects in colloidal crystals, crystal nucleation, the relationship between structure and dynamics in supercooled liquids, and the self-assembly behavior of active colloids. Filion’s research group combines advanced computational techniques with machine learning algorithms to explore the complexities of soft matter systems. She aims to develop new materials that exhibit targeted properties to contribute to a sustainable future.
