Research Interests

Our group aims at addressing emergent problems in the interdisciplinary areas of physics and biology by using the tools from statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, and soft condensed matter physics. Our main focus is to develop theoretical and computational models to understand the underlying dynamics of active, out of equilibrium systems at various length and time scales spanning over subcellular processes to collective organizations of species.
