Research Interests
I am interested in the physics of soft living matter; in particular, understanding the mechanics and self-organizing principles of living systems. I design and develop theory and computational simulations to model biological behavior from molecular to organismic scales, in close collaboration with experimentalists. My current research focuses on understanding the mechanics of the cell cytoskeleton, cell-matrix adhesion, collective cell motility, bacterial growth control and cell size regulation in microorganisms.
