Past Projects

A few earlier projects that shaped the way I now think about living tissues.

2011–2015 · PhD

Tissues as materials

Cell aggregates, epithelial monolayers, heterogeneous flows and the emergence of viscoelastic tissue behaviour.

2015–2019 · Singapore

Zebrafish myotome morphogenesis

Inter-tissue friction, active stresses and vertex models for shaping a developing muscle tissue.

2015–2019

Butterfly eyespot patterning

Reaction–diffusion modelling of morphogen-driven pattern formation.

2015–2019

Drosophila morphogenesis

Light-sheet imaging, tissue mechanics, heart morphogenesis and nuclear/aster organisation.
