About his Postdoctoral project
I work on mathematical modelling of the interactions of tissue flows with curvature in the fruit fly embryo, in a collaboration with an experimental developmental biology team. A combination of analytical approaches, experimental data analysis, and computer simulation will be employed to examine how tissue-scale changes in Gaussian curvature interact with cell-scale processes during fly embryogenesis. This will help us to understand the morphogenesis driven by the mechanical deformation of the embryo during the early developmental stage in Drosophila.
Collaborators: I am working in Matthias Merkel group, and collaborating with Thomas Lecuit, and Patrick Breier, who is co-supervised by Thomas Lecuit and Matthias Merkel.
