Biography

Inge Nys currently works as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Electronics and Information Systems, Ghent University, in the Liquid Crystal and Photonics group. Her research is focused on the use of liquid crystals for tunable electro-optic devices such as diffraction gratings lasers and smart windows. With the help of different alignment techniques she tries to stabilize new (chiral) liquid crystalline superstructures and she analyzes these structures with FE Q-tensor simulations.
