News:
‣ Click here to watch a recent video from Research @ WPI titled “Biology Meets Physics Inside the Cell”.
‣ An image from our recent paper in the Journal of Chemical Physics has been chosen as the journal cover. Here is a link to the issue.
‣ We are always interested in creative and motivated graduate students who would like to pursue computational biological physics and complex fluids for M.S. or Ph.D. Financial support in the form of teaching assistantships (or research assistantships depending on funding) is available. Please contact Prof. Tüzel for more information.
