Research Interests and Experience

I am generally interested in mathematical modelling of nonlinear phenomena in biology with underlying mechanisms coming from physics. While modelling and simulation informs biologists of possible underlying mechanisms, experimental observations motivate new theories and descriptions. As such, I am particularly interested in conducting theoretical studies in collaboration with experimental laboratories.
Currently, I work with Professor Alex Mogilner, whose lab is focused on cellular biology problems.
