Very excited to share some life updates: in summer 2026 I will be starting as an Assistant Professor of Physics at University of Toronto! My group will study a range of problems in biophysics using nonequilibrium statistical mechanics—cellular signaling and adaptation, gene regulation, etc.
Applications for @utoronto.ca graduate programs in Physics are due this Friday, Dec 12th. We have a range of exciting experimental and theoretical biophysics groups studying signaling, genetic networks, IDPs, population dynamics, etc. My group will be actively recruiting PhD students next fall.

Excited to share a new preprint! With @jiexiaolab.bsky.social, we investigated the impact of topological domain formation on the coupling between neighboring genes and the resulting transcription processes.
Chromosomal Topological Domain Formation Modulates Transcription and the Coupling of Neighboring Genes in Escherichia coli
Chromosomal topology and transcription are tightly coupled, yet the quantitative impact of topological constraints on transcription, supercoiling, and the potential coupling between neighboring genes ...

With the APS abstract deadline coming next week, please consider submitting to our Cellular Signaling focus session (04.01.29), co-organized with @qiweiyu.bsky.social and sponsored by @aps-dbio.bsky.social. The session will highlight recent theory and experiments across various signaling systems.
For the 2026 APS March Meeting, please consider submitting your abstract to our new focus session on Cellular Sensing and Signaling (04.01.29), which aims to bridge theory and experiments to understand how cells sense and respond to environmental signals.
