In my current research I apply the methods of statistical physics to study biological systems. I strive to combine analysis of experiments, numerical simulation and modelling and theoretical arguments to develop understanding of the collective properties of biological systems, as, for example the development of order.

The main current lines are:

• Animal movement

  Study of the collective properties of animals in motion (bird flocks and insect swarms) through minimal modelling, numerical simulations and field theory.

• Growth and motion of groups of cells and tissues

• Dynamics of neuronal networks
