Research Interests
I am interested in understanding collective phenomena in living cells and tissues. We use methods and concepts from physics, nonlinear dynamics, and statistics to study specific systems in close collaboration with experimental colleagues. Current projects include collective cancer invasion, retinal pigment epithelium, cell-ECM interaction, and liver fibrosis.
