Research Interests
I am interested in understanding the mechanosensitivity of cells during the organogenesis of connective tissues, with a particular focus on the nervous system (both central and peripheral). I’m also interested in engineering Blood-Brain Barrier organoid models using microfluidics for applications in disease modelling and drug discovery. But my biggest interest is to show how the laws of physics make life possible and to use those laws to shape how life computes toward deterministic, controllable outcomes.
