About

I am interested in how curvature, topology, and frustration affect the behavior of soft matter. These three ingredients can change the ground states of physical systems qualitatively, leading to the appearance of order parameter singularities (topological defects), frustrated crystalline lattices with unusual zero-energy morphologies, and they can direct the spatial distribution of soft deformations in critically-coordinated elastic networks.
