Personal profile
Research Interests
Mathematical modeling of physical and biological systems. Currently I work on problems in membrane biophysics (biomembrane electromechanics and stability, thermal shape fluctuations), complex systems and soft matter (emergent phenomena and self-organization in active matter, directed assembly, nonlinear particle dynamics). I also direct the Applied Math Lab.
