SLAMLab welcomes several new members to the group this summer!
Anthony Estrada – a physics major working on macroscopic active matter
Ryan Muoio – a masters student in physics working on entropy production in non-equilibrium systems
Lauren Nguyen – a chemistry major working on active enzymes and active swimmers
Congratulations to Vanni Petrolli, Magali Le Goff, and Monika Tadrous for their interesting paper published in PRL on confinement-induced transition in wavelike collective cell migration! Monika worked with the LiPhy group during a summer research exchange (iREU) in 2018.
Lots of great activity going on in the last couple of months, here’s a short update:
Dr. Ahmed visits University of San Diego to give the Physics Colloquium. Had lots of fun chatting with faculty and students about their research!
Dr. Ahmed presents on “Quantifying nonequilibrium fluctuations in living matter” at the GRC for Stochastic Physics in Biology in Ventura, California. This conference’s theme was “Fluctuations, Landscapes and Statistical Mechanics of Biological Heterogeneity”. Below is a poster summarizing some of the talk.
Congratulations to Monika for winning a poster competition at the APS Far West Section! You are racking up the awards!
Dr. Ahmed gave the Physics Colloquium at Harvey Mudd College!
