Postdoc research associate or Ph.D. studentI seek a highly qualified Postdoc or Ph.D. student, preferably with strong background in soft matter physics and statistical mechanics, for THEORETICAL research. Two research topics are currently available in my group:
1. Dynamics of active elastic networks with application to biosoft and cellular systems, e.g. chromatin. See, e.g., the following publications:
https://pubs.aip.org/aip/cha/article/34/11/113107/3318547
https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.16510 (J. Chem. Phys, in press)
2. Undulatory dynamics of highly viscous and viscoelastic biomembranes with application to flickering spectroscopy and neutron spin echo experiments (joint project with Prof. Petia Vlahovska, Northwestern University; colloboration with NSE researchers at NIST and ILL). See, e.g. the following publication:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2413557121
