Research:

Dynamics of Living Systems: Our goal is to assess how the motion of individual cells and the collective dynamics of cell groups are affected by physical cues, in particular electric fields and the topography of the microenvironment. 

Education:

Ph.D., City College of the City University of New York, 1998
