Our GRS (the first in computational materials science and engineering) is commencing! Glad to have organized this GRS/GRC with Eymana Maria, the Kulik Group, and Katsuyo Thornton! 🎉

#postdoc opportunity alert! Interested in exploring the structure, organization and function of the membrane of a living cell? 🔬🔬 The Cellular Interfaces Group @ CMCB, Warwick is seeking 3 postdoctoral fellows working on interesting projects around this living material- (1/3)

📢 Applications for ELBE postdoc fellowships are open! If you're up for a biophysics theory-experiment collaboration in the Dresden environment, please apply! Center for Systems Biology Dresden, MPI-PKS Dresden, MPI-CBG Dresden, TU Dresden

Please check out our recent article on the emergence of long-range velocity correlations from active dopants. nature.com/articles/s4200…

That's an excellent programme!

Very happy to share new work by Cal (w Aaron and Arvind Murugan )  arxiv.org/abs/2409.05827 ! We show how the expressivity/computational ability of non-equilibrium biological processes may expected to be fundamentally limited.

I am very excited to start as a faculty member at the Soft Condensed Matter Group at Raman Research Institute. We will be working on active matter, glasses, non-eq self-assembly, application of AI in soft matter and in many other interesting areas.

The third annual South Side Science Festival is happening tomorrow The University of Chicago ! If you're around, come check out our fun hands-on rheology demo in the Center for Living Systems area.

Our new preprint is out tinyurl.com/3jd68dpt It's a collaborative work with Euan Mackay, Aimee Bebbington, Jochen Kursawe, Jens Januschke and Marcus Bischoff UoD Life Sciences Science & Eng, UoD School of Biology @StA_Maths_Stats 0/17

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

Very happy to share the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We studied the self-organization of actin in aggregates made from Hydra cells. Thread below (1/9)

Check out new work arxiv.org/abs/2411.07233 by Alexandra, Agnish, Aditya and Cal on generative diffusion but with correlated or ``active" noise.

Two Research Assistant (RA) positions are available in our Soft, Living & Intelligent Matter Group Raman Research Institute. The position is for 1 year and may be extended up to a maximum of 2 years. For further details see: rri.res.in/sites/default/…

Our postdoc, Gabrielle, received an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) to support her research on microbial life in extreme conditions in the next three years in our lab. Congratulations!!

Single cells can learn without a nervous system, but how? In our new preprint, Deepa Rajan and I describe a simple model for habituation in Stentor cells, based on mechanoreceptor internalization and recycling, and test it with quantitative experiments. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

When a cell divides, its centrosome splits in two—and cell division can go catastrophically wrong if the two centrosomes grow to different sizes. How does the cell regulate centrosome size? deb sankar and PoLS faculty Shiladitya Banerjee present a novel model in a new eLife - the journal paper!
