Upcoming: Expand All Collapse All

  • Physics of Life monsoon school (2020 @ NCBS)
      Open to undegraduates with a strong grounding in physics and maths, and an active curiosity about biology. The school will consist of several pedagogical courses on topics like nonlinear dynamics, control and optimization, soft active matter, game theory, information theory, and robotics, as well as talks by the faculty of NCBS on research at the interface of biology and the physical sciences.
