Biography

Alexander Mietke is an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, specializing in Theoretical Soft Matter Biophysics. His research focuses on active living matter, collaborating with experimentalists to study fundamental biological processes at the cellular, tissue, and organism scales. His work aims to identify minimal physical principles that can guide biological processes. He inspires new theoretical approaches to topics in non-equilibrium soft matter physics, with broad interests in self-organization, mechanical and chemical patterns in active matter, emergent dynamics of membranes and active surfaces, liquid crystals in complex geometries, and chirality in active systems. His contributions include developing coarse-graining inference approaches that are directly applicable to experimental data.
