Excited to share our new preprint (finally) with Aikya Banerjee and P K Mohanty. The work had started in 2022 during my Master's and after much procrastination: arxiv.org/abs/2605.20160

Now #published @prxlife.bsky.social: a great Dresden collaboration on lumen mechanics with @chandraniva.bsky.social @markusmukenhirn.bsky.social, Alf Honigmann @biotec-tud.bsky.social @poldresden.bsky.social! @mpipks.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de @csbdresden.bsky.social

#proudPI moment: this afternoon, my first student, Maryam Setoudeh, successfully defended her #PhD thesis @tudresden.bsky.social. Picture of happy student and inanely grinning PI provided by @zhaoshh.bsky.social. @mpipks.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de @csbdresden.bsky.social

Job alert🚨I am advertising a 2-year postdoctoral position to work on the mathematics of plant morphogenesis @mpipz.bsky.social. Candidates with interests in mathematical modelling, mechanics, or biophysics are strongly encouraged to apply. 🌱Reposts are appreciated! jobs.mpipz.mpg.de/jobposting/4...

Our paper on the transition to active turbulence is now out @natcomms.nature.com! With @the-chaotician.bsky.social. Are you curious how activity begets chaos? Check out the paper and the thread below. 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

IG Nobel Prize in #Physics 2025 to @mpipks.bsky.social researchers for elucidating the phase behaviour of cacio e pepe sauce. The work highlights how physics can also be applied to solve daily-life problems! nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03045-0

New #preprint: "Control of lumen morphology by lateral and basal cell surfaces", a great #biophysics collaboration with Chandraniva Guha Ray, @markusmukenhirn.bsky.social, Alf Honigmann @biotec-tud.bsky.social @poldresden.bsky.social. arxiv.org/abs/2509.04316 @mpipks.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de
