To uncover the physical principles of such an organization, we analyze theoretical models of biological processes using tools from statistical physics, dynamical system theory, fluid dynamics, and information theory. How does phase separation help to structure biological cells? How do complex patterns form from interacting particles?

Jan 7, 2025 · I joined David Zwicker’s group Theory of Biological Fluids as a PhD student in the fall of 2022. I am interested in statistical physics applications to biological systems, both from a theoretical and a computational perspective.

3 days ago · David Zwicker discusses the delicate balance between entropy and enthalpy that determines whether fluids comprising many components mix or phase separate. You have full access to this article via ...

In general, I examine the organization of cells using tools from dynamical systems theory and statistical physics. I try to understand how complexity in both space and...

I'm a physicist working on biological problems. In particular, I study our sense of smell and I'm interested in the complex spatial and temporal organization of the interior of cells. I use concepts from theoretical physics to understand basic principles of these processes and concrete experimental data from my collaborators.

Since 2017, he leads the independent research group “Theory of Biological Fluids” at the MPI for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen, Germany. In contrast to most man-made machines, biological organisms are typically built from soft and often fluid-like material.
