Bio

I am a researcher at the intersection of soft matter and biology, using geometrical and statistical approaches to understand biological systems, and vice-versa using biological systems as windows into exotic regimes of physics. My favorite systems are ones where novel (or at least non-trivial!) physics is necessary to explain puzzling biological observations, with developmental systems capturing so far most of my attention.
