Physics of living systems: Mathematical and physical models of microbial cell growth and division; Gene expression; Phenotypic variability; Evolutionary dynamics; TF search and first-passage-time problems; Collective dynamics in cell signaling

Our research centers on the theory of complex systems and biophysics, applied to a broad spectrum of problems, mainly in the context of the physics of living systems. Our research is often done in collaboration with experimental groups. Key themes of our lab include mathematical modeling of cell growth and mechanics, both at the single-cell level and the population level, stochastic processes, disordered systems, and coarse-grained modeling of complex processes.
