Stochastic dynamics of reactive and living systemsPresentation
I am interested in understanding living organisms and living matter thanks to physics, especially statistical physics, but also thanks to other quantitative approaches. I perform both analytical work and numerical simulations, and I enjoy collaborating with experimentalists. My work spans various scales, from molecules and cells to populations.
For my PhD, at Universite Paris-Diderot, I worked on the statistics and dynamics of complex membranes.
For my postdoc, at Princeton University (USA), I worked on various aspects of the link between functions and constraints in multi-protein complexes.
More details are available on my webpage.
