Interests

I consider trying to figure out experiments in collaboration to be an important aspect of a theorist's role in addition to developing abstract theories.

After all, experiments have stimulated much phenomenological theory in the history of condensed matter physics (thinking of Landau or de Gennes for example). One must hope (even if many biologists are skeptical) that such a synergistic pattern of theory-experiment collaboration could also be replicated in part in the study of biological systems.
