Ingo Dierking is a Senior Lecturer / Associate Professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Manchester, United Kingdom. His research is related to different Soft Matter systems, particularly the physics of liquid crystals, polymer modified liquid crystals, and liquid crystal - nanoparticle dispersions. His current research interests are mainly focussed on ferroelectric nanoparticles in nematic and ferroelectric smectic phases, carbon nanomaterials in liquid crystals, lyotropic phases of graphene oxide, chirality effects, and colloidal particles to stabilize frustrated phases. In his spare time Ingo is involved in "Science meets Art" and other arts projects.
