Theoretical Biological Physics

I apply techniques from stochastic processes, nonlinear dynamics, and nonequilibrium statistical physics to biological systems across a wide range of physical and temporal scales. In particular, I have worked on the origin of biological homochirality, Darwinian transition, pattern formation in chemical and biological systems, and modeling bacterial growth from subcellular processes to single cells, populations, and ecosystems. 

 

For UU Students: I have several projects available for students comfortable with probabilistic calculations. Strong coding skills or familiarity with stochastic processes would be a plus. If you are interested in exploring any of these directions please send me an email.
