Assistant Professor of Physics at WashU working in areas of biophysics and soft matter.
I had the privilege of giving Science Saturday, an engaging public lecture meant to spark curiosity about the wonders of science. My talk, “The Physics of Mysterious Droplets,” explored liquid-like droplets inside our cells and the physics behind their behavior: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R16...

As the march meeting abstract deadline approaches, please check out our session! Please RT/forward
For the 2026 APS March Meeting, please consider submitting your abstract to our new focus session on Cellular Sensing and Signaling (04.01.29), which aims to bridge theory and experiments to understand how cells sense and respond to environmental signals.

It's finally here! After almost 3 years of planning, I'm thrilled to discover the literal and figurative blue skies @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social

@jerelleaj.bsky.social, @zwickergroup.bsky.social, Frank Jülicher and I will kick off our program on biomolecular condensates next week!

Our article, “Trait-space patterning is dictated by the tempo and mode of mutation,” co-authored with Stephen Martis and David Schwab, is out in PNAS! We show how mutation processes shape evolution, with relevance to bacteria–phage interactions. www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

I’m happy to share a preprint with my collaborators Jim Yu (Princeton) and David Schwab (CUNY). We develop a noisy consumer resource model, and study dynamical phase transitions in both the common behavior and large deviations.

Hi, I just joined! I am a biophysicist at Princeton. I study the physics of membrane less organelles. I currently focus on an organelle within green algae called the pyrenoid. It enhances the rate of carbon capture and photosynthesis. #HiSciSky #physics #AcademicSky #blackSky #MolecularBiology
