DESCRIPTION:Colloidal suspensions have long been regarded as an excellent 
 source of experimental model systems\, due to their large size\, slow time
 scales and inherent tunability. In this talk\, I will discuss two examples
  of how complex natural phenomena can be studied by building systems in wh
 ich colloids are confined to one- and two-dimensional geometries. In parti
 cular\, in 2D\, we have established the full phase behaviour of the simple
 st two-dimensional system\, hard disks\, by studying the structure and dyn
 amics of colloidal monolayers. In 1D\, we can gain an insight into transpo
 rt through porous membranes by studying colloidal dynamics in microscale c
 hannels with tuneable potential landscapes.
