Our group works on building computational models for self-organization in biological systems across scales with a vision of writing down the design principles of functional biomaterials. We use multiple tools of engineering and applied physics as the problem in hand needs. The specific problem will be decided based on the mutual interest of the student and the PI. 

Some example problems are: (i) Developing a mechanical model of a tissue to engineer it's deformation based on chemical pattern. (ii) Extending the physics of flexible polymer to understand the effect of loop formation in polymer dynamics.

The student should have a good grasp on Mathematics, High school level Physics, as well as Programming. Please send an email to Sayantan along with your CV to schedule a meeting to discuss this project,
