Major Research Interests
We focus on the physics of dynamics and self-organisation in nature with special attention to Bottom Up Synthetic Biology, Bio-engineering and Medical Physics, Physical Biodynamics, the Physics of Clouds and Atmospheres and of Turbulence. Current topics include synthetic engineering of bio-synthetic cilia, electrical turbulence and the soft mechanics of muscle contraction in the heart, cilia-based directed transport networks in the ventricles of the mammalian brain, and understanding fully developed turbulent flows (inertial/convective simple and complex fluids).
