Raphael studied the response of a LCE film doped with dye to light passed through a spatial light modulator. Using a setup of his own design, Raphael was able to induce controlled locomotion in the LCE film
Volodymer worked on alternative methods for measuring ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices of a nematic LCE film using index matching materials.
Vianney carried on more research on LCE swelling, simultaneously measuring the change in dimension of a nematic exposed to toluene solvent vapor. Vianney's ppt presentation contains video clips that need to be downloaded separately
