💧🌀 Active matter meets interface physics! We show how conserved active emulsions form traveling interfacial waves and self-propelling liquid gears, powered by non-reciprocal chemical interactions. 🎥 Watch the dynamics: gears & belts in motion👇 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2505.20028
My lecture “Nonequilibrium Field Theories and Stochastic Dynamics” is now on YouTube! Here a short film on my teaching philosophy. Watch lectures here: m.youtube.com/@PhysicsOfLife…
New in Nature Physics: In a great collaboration with the Jun Lab at UC San Diego, we demonstrate how Min proteins in E. coli form robust, resource-optimal dynamic patterns, ensuring precise cell division even under varying physiological conditions. 📄 nature.com/articles/s4156…

How do some organs regenerate fast? It turns out bioelectricity comes to aid— by coupling sub-seconds injury signals to proliferative regeneration! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Honored to share a preprint from my postdoc work @rita_d_mateus @mpicbg @PoLDresden @NerliElisa in close…
Looking for a reading snack? Our work is featured as a @NaturePhysics research briefing: nature.com/articles/s4156… Full story of how we politely ask round cells to assume a square shape: nature.com/articles/s4156… @FakhriLab @PhysOfLifeLMU #ScienceTwitter #Optogenetics
We may not have really squared the circle — but came close! 😉 In our @NaturePhysics paper with @FakhriLab light-triggered membrane excitability enables programmable shapes — a step toward engineering living matter. nature.com/articles/s4156… #biophysics #syntheticcell #softmatter
Optogenetically induced chemo-mechanical excitations are used to drive and study shape deformations in starfish oocytes. Understanding and eventually controlling such waves is important for the development of synthetic cells. nature.com/articles/s4156…
Very excited this work is out in @NaturePhysics. A wonderful collaboration between my group @MIT and @PhysOfLifeLMU.

Fresh from the press with @NaturePhysics: How do we leverage a cell's self-organization to make it change its shape into a square? Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4156… @PhysOfLifeLMU @FakhriLab
Editors' suggestion: Dimensionality reduction in bulk-boundary reaction-diffusion systems, Tom Burkart, Benedikt J. Müller, and Erwin Frey #BiologicalPhysics @t_burkart @PhysOfLifeLMU go.aps.org/3Y4dfUE

Synthetic cells are on the move - quite literally: The Schwille @MPI_Biochem and Frey groups @LMU_Muenchen recently showed how mechanochemical feedback loops drive the persistent motion of liposomes. Here is my News & Views @NaturePhysics: nature.com/articles/s4156…
Through a mechanochemical feedback loop involving Min proteins of Escherichia coli, liposomes start to move, which may help to design motile artificial cells. go.nature.com/44VZCbs
Exciting news: proteins set vesicles in motion! Simulation of persistent vesicle motion driven by a mechanochemical feedback loop between pattern-forming Min proteins and the lipid membrane. #Biophysics #SyntheticCell. Full story @NaturePhysics: doi.org/10.1038/s41567…
It was a great honour to receive the Gustav-Hertz-Prize of the #DPG last night from the DPG president Prof. Joachim Ullrich. Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way, especially @CBroedersz, @RaedlerLab, @Alex_the_finch and @PhysOfLifeLMU!
My group’s recent work on chiral & nonreciprocal active matter is featured in September issue of @PhysicsToday. Thanks to @SloanFoundation Matter to Life & @NSF Physics of Living Systems for funding our research. physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT…
What an honour and what a pleasure! 🥳 Meeting @bundeskanzler Scholz and Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau at @Mila_Quebec, and discussing about AI for biomedicine and German-Canadian collaborations! 😍 Thanks @MarsicoLab, @tangjianpku, @causal_cell and @HelmholtzMunich!

They are vital for many biological processes: A team led by LMU physicist Erwin Frey has developed a new theory that allows the prediction of complex pattern formation from the large-scale dynamics. @PhysOfLifeLMU tinyurl.com/yj5h7m4p
How can one deal with systems that exhibit patterns across multiple scales? In our recent paper pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… in collaboration with @cees_dekker, we show how one can reconstruct and predict multiscale patterns from a reduced dynamics at large scales. @LWuerthner
