Research work
Simulations from my research in physics and biophysics, from pattern formation to fracture.
Spiral Waves
Rotating spiral waves like those of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction, simulated in COMSOL and in Python.
Arrested Phase Separation in C. elegans
Why groups of worms stop growing and settle into a regular pattern, seen from both the crowd and the individual.
Crack Formation
Simulating how cracks open around the rim of a growing colony, in COMSOL and in a solver I wrote myself.
