Rhythms and Emergence in Complex Systems
Team Advisor/PI
Project Description/ Research Team Goals
Physical theories for robust dynamics in living and far-from-equilibrium systems -- from circadian clocks and gene networks to active flows and stochastic transport
Issues Addressed
We ask why stochastic systems function so reliably despite underlying noise and complexity.
Research Methods and Technology
Our group bridges mathematical theory and experiment, especially using the language of topology, geometry, and non-equilibrium physics.
Preferred Undergraduate Interests
Emergence; building theories for complex systems
Academic Majors of Interest
Though open to all, most interested in students with quantitative backgrounds
Prior Preparation/Requisite Experience
Physics, math, and/or quantitative biology
Compensation
Work study-eligible students may receive compensation from OURI.
