Our research has focused on understanding the behavior of non-equalibrium thermal dynamic systems, using experimental and computational approaches, with a particular focus on bacterial active matter. Besides, we are also interested in the fundamental aspects of surface-associated microbial life with in vivo and in situ experimental techniques, aiming to elucidate the biophysical principles underlying microbe-environment interactions. Specifically, we are currently studying the following topics:

1. Self-organization and pattern formation in living active matter;
2. Autonomous motion in living active solids and nematics;
3. Mechanical/chemical signaling in living systems;
4. Numerical Simulations of Active Matter;

These studies will provides a testing ground for the development of non-equilibrium physics and guide the engineering of novel materials that are self-assemble and self-renew.
