Fields of Research
My current research focuses on pattern formation in biological systems. I apply the tools of theoretical biophysics, statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics to understand the emergence of various pattern-forming instabilities. Examples include pattern formation in heterogeneous systems, geometry induced protein patterns, and morphological instabilities of growing protein--lipid interfaces.
