Tissue Rheology
Living tissues are neither simple solids nor simple fluids. I study how their material response emerges from cell-scale deformation, adhesion and rearrangements.
How does a tissue flow — and can its rheology be inferred directly from images?
Viscoelasticity & plasticity
Linking tissue-scale deformation to cell-scale rearrangements and relaxation.
Collective migration
Using heterogeneous flows and confinement to reveal effective material behaviour.
Inverse mechanics
Vertex models, physics-informed inference and non-invasive rheology from velocity fields.
