For a physicist, the growth and regeneration of living organisms are marvelous organizational events of signaling and building blocks to adore. The seek of generalizable physical principles in this context can be a natural but intimidating quest, given the complexity in developmental biology and so on. Yet, grand opportunities lie in such a junction for interdisciplinary biophysicists, that a combo of emerging experimental tools and developing nonequilibrium theories can bring condensed matter physics and cell biology minds together.
I joined the Center for Systems Biology Dresden as an ELBE postdoc fellow in Oct 2022, working between the Max Planck Institute for Physics of Complex Systems and the Max Planck Institute for Cell Biology and Genetics. I received my PhD in Physics from MIT in Sep 2022 and hold a Bachelor of Science degree, also in Physics, from Peking University (2016).
