Physics of Active and Living Matter
Theories, Modeling and Simulations
Theoretical models and methods are developed to study the structure-dynamics relations in cellular fluids; dynamic self-organizing processes in chromatin, cytoskeleton, cells and tissues; bacterial motility, spreading of infectious diseases; non-equilibrium complex systems in biology, evolutionary ecology and turbulence.

Physical Biology
The main research topics include using nano/microdevices to study biophysics of bacteria, biosensing and tissue engineering application, quantitative pattern recognition on the physiology and pathology of living systems, the effect of dimensionality on cellular behaviors and how cells utilize force to perform biological functions.

Soft Matter and Granular Materials
In soft matter and granular materials, we combine the knowledge and techniques from rheology, solid and fluid mechanics and non-equilibrium statistics, to deepen our understanding of the generic principles behind complex phenomena.
