Brief descriptions of current areas of focus are given below. Asterisks denote equal contribution. For a complete and up-to-date list of publications, please see Google Scholar. Understanding the factors that either stimulate or hinder growth and expansion is relevant to many fields, including medicine, morphogenesis, and agriculture. We are particularly interested in studying how expanding or growing bodies respond to the presence of obstacles. Recently, we have focused on how hydrogels can be used as a model system to explore how stresses develop.
