About

Joe is a colloid scientist (MSci Physics, Bristol, 2011; PhD Physics, Edinburgh, 2015) with interests in 3D Printing, Soft Matter, Microfluidics, and Tissue Engineering. He held prior appointments at Croda (2016), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2016-2018), and University College London (2018-2023). He has worked on soft matter formulation, liquid-phase 3D-printing technology, and nanomedicine for targeted drug delivery. Joe started a joint appointment between the Departments of Physics and Chemistry in April 2023.

We are keen to support fellowship applications for PhD students and Postdoctoral Fellows to join the group in the areas of 3D Printing, Soft Matter, Soft Microfluidics, and Tissue Engineering. You can find more information here or email Joe directly (j.forth@liverpool.ac.uk) for an informal discussion on possible avenues for support.

In previous years, we've been successful in raising support from industrial partners including Syngenta and Unilever and secured studentships from the Liverpool CDT in Digital and Automated Materials Chemistry and the China Scholarship Council.
