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

An ideal student should be proficient in Mathematics, Programming, and Physics. A good grade (AB or above) in at least two of the three subjects CL 601, CL 605, and CL 701 could be a testimonial for that. Please send your CV to Sayantan and book an appointment to check your suitability for the project.
