Gareth Alexander is an Associate Professor at the University of Warwick in the Department of Physics. His primary research interests lie in theoretical soft matter physics, focusing on active matter, chiral mechanics, and the geometric and topological properties of liquid crystals. Previously, he worked on knotted fields, low Reynolds number hydrodynamics, and soap films. Gareth has collaborated with researchers on topics including three-dimensional active liquid crystals and the development of muscle tissue in zebrafish. He teaches various courses, including Statistical Physics and General Relativity, and is involved in guiding DPhil students in advanced research. His research is highly interdisciplinary, connecting physics to biological systems and material science, reflecting the rich complexity of soft matter phenomena.
