Welcome to Xiaowen Chen's research group web page! We study collective behavior in living systems, from collective animal behavior to cell migration, to neuronal activities. At the same time, we develop novel methods of statistical inference to learn models from data, especially for out-of-equilibrium dynamics that is challenging in living systems.  

We are part of the "Theoretical biophysics and neuroscience" team at the Laboratoire de physique de l'ENS (LPENS), a vibrant community of physicists, especially in the field of physics of living systems.
