Rojin Jafari

Rojin Jafari is a PhD student contributor to Physics World, working in soft condensed-matter physics at Johns Hopkins University. She studies engineered active nematic liquid crystals. For this, she investigates the behaviour of self-propelled networks of microtubules in the presence and absence of external force. Rojin completed her undergraduate degree in physics at University of Massachusetts Boston and her Master's degree in biomedical sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

As Rojin enjoys reading and writing, she is also interested in communicating scientific discoveries and inventions to the physics community.
