Excited to give a talk in the fantastic SLAAM seminar series this Monday! I've learned so much from these seminars over the years sites.google.com/view/slaamsemi…
Symmetry and stability of orientationally ordered collective motions of self-propelled, semiflexible filaments, Madhuvanthi Guruprasad Athani and Daniel A. Beller @madhuathani @BellerPhysics #Biophysics #SoftMatter go.aps.org/3zddzX3
The @NSF awarded funding to establish a summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at UC Merced led by CCBM Executive Director Carrie Kouadio and Professor Ajay Gopinathan. Read more of this story here 🔗ucm.edu/c7IzP5
My group is looking for Ph.D. students in the Physics of Biological Systems. We apply statistical physics principles to study living systems using a combination of analytical theory and simulations. Apply here: iitb.ac.in/newacadhome/ph… More info at: phy.iitb.ac.in/en/content/phd…
This recent breakthrough by @jncasr #scientists has facilitated development of the country’s 1st plant that can convert CO2 into methanol. This involves connecting directly to flue streams from a power generation plant in the state of Telangana. @karandi65
Thursday at #APSMarch and DBIO has a lot going on! Drop by our membership table outside room 103C and say hi. (Last chance for a t-shirt!) Excellent science throughout the day: 3 invited sessions 17 focus sessions 1 contributed session 1 virtual-only session
We are pleased to announce that the first SLAAM talk of Spring 2024 will be given by Dr. Menachem (Nachi) Stern (UPenn)! Title: Learning without neurons in physical systems Date and Time : Monday, Feb 12, at 9 am PT/12 noon ET
Today our colloquium speaker was be our very own Dr. Monika Sanoria who gave an in-person talk about “Collective motion of Active Brownian particles". Dr. Sanoria is a post-doc affiliated with @CCBM_UCMerced works with Prof. Ajay Gopinathan. @SanoriaMonika @ajay_gopinathan
Looking forward to hosting this fantastic panel! @SurajShankar92 @HernanGGarcia @DrJennyRoss Andrea Liu and Rae Robertson-Anderson. Come join us!
