Computing collision stress in assemblies of active spherocylinders: applications of a fast and generic geometric method
W. Yan, Huan Zhang, M. Shelley
The Journal of Chemical Physics Biophysical Modeling
The Biophysical Modeling group focuses on the modeling and simulation of complex systems that arise in biology and soft condensed matter physics.
Areas of interest include the dynamics of complex and active materials, and aspects of collective behavior and self-assembly in both natural systems (e.g., inside the cell) and synthetic ones. Our approach is based on mathematical modeling and analysis, the development and application of software tools for large-scale biophysical simulation, and close collaboration with experimentalists.
Research Highlights
From cytoskeletal assemblies to living materials
P. Foster, S. Fürthauer, M. Shelley, D. Needleman
Many subcellular structures contain large numbers of cytoskeletal filaments. Such assemblies underlie much of cell division, motility, signaling, metabolism, and…
Current Opinion in Cell BiologyCoarse-graining the dynamics of immersed and driven fiber assemblies
An important class of fluid-structure problems involve the dynamics of ordered arrays of immersed, flexible fibers. While specialized numerical methods…
