#Morphodynamics
My group will investigate the stochastic morphodynamics of living systems at the interface of biophysical modelling and computational biology.

I will announce positions for PhD students and postdocs in the coming months! Feel free to DM me if you are interested!

World premiere of our Emflume1.5 at 13th Symposium on River, Coastal, and Estuarine Morphodynamics RCEM 2023 at U of I! Rafael Tinoco got an Em4 last summer for the Gary Parker Morphodynamics Lab there, and has been putting it to great use with his students. 🌊

Being in the same building sparked this dream collaboration. Spearheaded by our joint PhD student Marc @mtrani.bsky.social. I also want to highlight the critical input from @cryaaa.bsky.social, who developed the framework to quantify 3D morphodynamics & much more (SpinePy: doi.org/10.1101/2025...)

2/14👨🏼‍🏫 In #devbio, cell fates are typically defined by genes they express. We asked a different question: Can we see fate decisions happening just by looking at the cells? We developed a pipeline to track the morphodynamics of thousands of cells in a complex, developing tissue.

Ok. Here I am. Trying to find the old academic/science twitter community. Is there anyone from the #coastal #geosciences #geomorphology or #morphodynamics #coralreefs #beaches? Any followers of #Coast2Cast?
