We use tools from theoretical physics to understand complex biological systems. In close collaboration with experimentalists, we perform data analysis and develop theoretical models using elements from dynamical systems, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, complex network theory, and/or stochastic processes. Most of our research falls within one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding areas of physics:

Active & Living Matter

We contribute to the development of Active & Living Matter theory, and apply it to understand individual and collective behaviors across scales in biological systems. Some specific topics we are currently interested in: Transition from individual to collective motion, collective motion in confinement and in heterogeneous media. Self-organized behavior in collections of intelligent active units and physical properties of proliferating matter.
