Phase separation and transport properties in active (biological) mixtures
I am a theoretical physicist investigating the self-organization principles in living systems. Biological systems exhibit a cascade of emergent order propagating from molecular scales to the organism level and ecosystems. My research covers a broad spectrum of biophysical problems from mesoscale processes to ecosystems at the interface of statistical physics, biology, and soft-matter theory with a multidisciplinary collaboration network.
