Marchetti to deliver a plenary talk at STATPHY27 in Buenos Aires
Suraj Shankar gives an invited talk at the Workshop Geometry of Soft Matter at IIT, Natal, Brazil.
Marchetti speaks at the Lorentz Center Workshop Topology in Complex Fluids, May 22-25, 2018
The article Geometric frustration and solid-solid transitions in model 2D tissue has been accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters. In this work, we develop a continuum theory of the Vertex Model and identify a transition between a soft elastic solid with compatible target perimeter and area to a stiffer nonlinear elastic solid frustrated by geometric incompatibility.’
Postdoc David Yllanes is moving to a new job at
Chan Zuckerberg Biohub. Good luck, David. We’ll miss you!
