Based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, Dr. Anne Meeussen is an academic physicist who researches smart and unusual materials. From mechanical computers to shape-morphing structures, these materials’ strange behaviour comes from their internal architecture. Anne’s work focuses on soft condensed matter, topology, geometry, mechanics, and developing intuitive models for new matter.
