Research Interests
- The focus of my research is developing quantitative computational models using tools
from physics, engineering and computational methods to understand the physical principles
governing processes in biological systems. Ongoing work involves (i) studying dynamics
and self-organization during leaf vein morphogenesis and synthetic intercellular signaling;
(ii) influence of external electric field on collective osteoblast cell migration
and electric field on cell shape; (iii) dynamics of cell division in stem cell differentiation,
and (iv) biochemo-mechanical influence on whole plant regeneration from isolated protoplasts.
