Our group seeks to understand fundamental principles that govern the behavior of biological systems, using a combination of experiment and theory. A single label cannot describe this research; rather, it involves the domains of biological physics, evolutionary biology, fluid and solid mechanics, and light applied mathematics.

We like experiments. We keep it simple.

We are curious. We get things done.
