Title: Flow, Fluctuate and Freeze: Modeling Collective Cell Motion Using Soft Active Matter Abstract: Active or living materials are made out of agents that can move on their own, such as birds, fish, or artificial systems such as robots or active colloids. Cells are a core active material, and the two-dimensional tissues known as epithelial…
Title: Self-assembly Across Scales: From Cytoskeletal Dynamics to Evolution of Multicellularity Abstract: Self-assembly is a fundamental process that drives organization and function across biological systems, from molecular complexes to multicellular structures. In this talk, I will present our recent research on the role of self-assembly in actin cytoskeletal dynamics and the evolution of multicellularity. At…

Using computational models to bridge the gap between sub-cellular dynamics and tissue morphogenesis
Title: Modeling, analysis, and control of droplet dynamics Abstract: Thin liquid films flowing down vertical fibers spontaneously exhibit complex interfacial dynamics, leading to irregular wavy patterns and traveling liquid droplets. Such droplet dynamics are fundamental components in many engineering applications, including mass and heat exchangers for thermal desalination, as well as water vapor and particle…
