Overview

In our lab, we use a combination of analytical theory and computational techniques to understand the underlying physical phenomena in biological systems and complex fluids. Research projects within our lab fall within three broads themes: DNA biophysics, charge transport in conjugated polymers, and protein self assembly

Theoretical tools:
  • Analytical theory of semiflexible polymer behavior
  • Polymer field theory
  • Continuum elasticity of filaments
  • Brownian dynamics simulation
  • Equilibrium and dynamic Monte Carlo simulations
  • Analytical theory and numerical simulations of reaction-diffusion phenomena
