I am Matthias Merkel, a theoretical biophysicist from Germany.
I am a researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).
I just started my own research group on self-organization and collective effects in living systems at the Alan Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI) and the Centre de Physique Théorique (CPT) at the Université Aix-Marseille in France.
Current research interests
- Self-organization and collective dynamics in biological systems
- Mechanics and polarity dynamics in two- and three-dimensional biological tissues
- Mechanics of soft disordered systems
