Principal Investigator · Assistant Professor
Deb Sankar Banerjee

I work on the physics of living matter — specifically on how non-equilibrium forces and molecular interactions give rise to hierarchical self-organization, adaptive mechanics, and emergent information processing in biological systems.

My approach bridges analytical theory, computational simulation, and data-driven analysis to uncover universal organizing principles in soft adaptive matter.
