For numerous fundamental processes of life, the formation of certain protein patterns is essential. Protein pattern formation controlled by molecular switches is – like many processes in nature – far ...

The phase separation of oil and water is a classic example of a process ubiquitous in nature, in which mixtures separate into their constituent parts. Scientists have also repeatedly identified ...

My current research interests include membrane modeling, membrane-protein interactions, cytoskeletal modeling, and the mechanical basis for mitotic spindle formation. Broader interests include ...

I am interested in equilibrium and non-equilibrium soft condensed matter physics and biophysics. Currently, I study the collective motion of self-propelled rods in 2D and the motion of motor proteins ...

Last month, the city of Baltimore, Maryland, found itself host to the March Meeting of the American Physical Society. Around 7,500 physicists thronged the city's convention centre, mostly eschewing ...
