Nordic Rheology Society

Rheology is defined as the science of the deformation and flow of matter, which means that rheology in some form enters almost every study of material properties. In the Nordic countries, rheological measurements have become standard techniques in both industrial and academic research. The Nordic Rheology Society has been formed as a meeting ground for engineers, physicists, chemists and biologists engaged in rheology in industry and academia.

We are delighted to announce our second plenary speaker, Dr. Viviane Lutz Bueno from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland. Viviane Lutz Bueno is a Senior Scientist at PSI and lecturer at ETH Zürich working on method development and structural characterization of soft matter using small-angle scattering techniques. Her research focuses on in-situ scattering measurements of complex soft-matter systems, including microfluidic platforms for scattering experiments, chemical reactions under confinement, and dark-field imaging approaches. We look forward to welcoming her to Lund this August for the 35th Nordic Rheology Conference & 14th International Conference on Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials (NRC × MTDM).

Norman J. Wagner’s research focuses on the rheology and microstructure of complex fluids, combining rheology with advanced scattering techniques to uncover structure - property relationships in colloidal suspensions and soft materials. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, recipient of the 2014 Bingham Medal of the Society of Rheology, and former President of the Society of Rheology, among other honours. He is currently the Robert L. Pigford Chair and Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Delaware.
Prof. Wagner’s plenary lecture will focus on Microstructure and Rheology of Thermoreversible Colloidal Gels by 4D Rheo-SANS, exploring how combined rheology and neutron scattering reveal the microstructural dynamics of colloidal gels under flow. Read more about the conference at the NRC-MTDM web site.
