Research
The primary focus of my research is biological physics. Our group conducts both theoretical and experimental research on problems of evolutionary biology (such as the evolution of multicellularity), developmental biology, and aspects of nonequilibrium phenomena unique to living systems. We also conduct research on natural pattern formation in the physical and biological world.
