Building biomimetic active materials from energy-consuming proteins
We are a group of physicists, biochemists, and material scientists interested in understanding, designing, and controlling emergent behaviors in biomimetic active materials.
Active matter: activity-driven instabilities, topological active fluids, pattern formation
Living matter: Order and patterns in tissues, collective cell migration, cell-cell communication
