The Physics of Living Matter Group looks at LIFE,

or as we put it, Living In Fluctuating Environments

LIFE bridges the physics of FLOW (matter & information) and FORM (geometry, order & topology) to uncover biological FUNCTIONS (behaviour & response) in diverse microbial systems and interfaces

We use cross-disciplinary approaches which interface tools and techniques from physics, biology, engineering, mathematics, statistics and machine learning to capture microbial BEHAVIOUR, RESPONSE and RESILIENCE triggered by environmental variations mimicking those due to shifts in climate and lifestyle choices
