Research interests
I am interested in nonequilibrium, disordered systems. By using theoretical and numerical tools I investigate the areas of heterogeneous disordered media and active matter. My focus is on emergent properties, collective behaviour and spatial structure in a wide range of systems: from glasses to animals, from gels to bones.
