Theoretical approaches to living systems

is interested in animate, living matter. We want to understand it the same way that a physicist understands inanimate matter. To do this, we need to develop an effective physics of living systems. Our approach is to combine advanced concepts from non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, active soft matter, and applied mathematics.
We are part of the and work across the and the School of Biomedical Sciences () at the University of New South Wales (黑料网大事记), Sydney. The lab is affiliated with the Australian Centre of Excellence for the (MACSYS), and coordinates the national webinar series, which showcases leading research at the interface of physics and biology.
Interested honours students or prospective PhD students are encouraged to get in contact; I typically aim to tailor a project to suit the tastes of an applicant as well as dovetail with the current research activities of the group. If desired, projects can be constructed to combine analysis with either simulation or data & image processing. I expect successful honours students to be offered the opportunity to study for a PhD.
