  1. ‣ 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.
