The Seara Group

The Seara group conducts curiosity-driven research at the intersection of physics, biology, engineering, applied mathematics, and data science. We are particularly interested in emergent mechanics and dynamics in complex systems, from collections of colloids to cells to societies. These collective behaviors are driven by the consumption of both energy and information, eliminating the possibility of describing them using traditional, equilibrium-like physical methods.

We draw on our experience in biological physics, soft condensed matter physics, statistical mechanics, and applied mathematics to develop both analytic and data-driven mathematical descriptions of complex systems. Take a look at our publications or our research page to learn more.
