Michael is a faculty member in SEAS and Physics at Harvard University. He has a PhD in Physics from the University of Chicago, where he worked with Professor Leo Kadanoff. His first faculty position was at MIT in the Mathematics Department before joining...

I work on problems in soft matter and molecular self-assembly, combining analytical methods with molecular simulations. I develop design principles for self-assembling systems in biology and nanotechnology and methods to understand how molecular systems...

Applied Math

I am interested in applying machine-learning tools in combination with physics to solve optimization and inverse design problems in fluid mechanics. My background in applied mathematics and mechanical engineering drives my twin purposes of understanding...

My research interests lie in modeling living and non-living soft matter and complex fluids, spanning topics from colloidal hydrodynamics and viscoelastic flows to active matter and intracellular transport. I am currently developing computational methods...

Differentiable physics models to learn collective behaviors of cells in developmental & synthetic biology

Livia is a 3rd year PhD student working on self-assembly optimization and inverse design.

I am interested in the extent to which molecular systems can be engineered to perform complex computations.

My research combines statistical physics, differentiable simulation and machine learning to uncover fundamental limits and design principles governing self-assembly, information flow, and molecular computation.
