We are a team of physical scientists using theoretical and computational tools of statistical mechanics to discover and understand collective behaviors of diverse molecular systems.
We welcome and value people of all backgrounds and identities, including: ethnicity, race, nationality, gender identity, sexuality, disability, age, socioeconomic status, religion, and culture.
We believe firmly that Black lives matter.
We strive to recognize and address our implicit biases, both by individual self-reflection and collectively through regular reading groups and discussions.
