We study the molecular biophysics and spatial evolutionary ecology of microbial assemblages in nanofabricated adaptive (<i>habitat</i>) landscapes. We combine theoretical biology with experimental biophysics to study systems microbiology in nano-scale on-chip ecosystems.<br> | We study the molecular biophysics and spatial evolutionary ecology of microbial assemblages in nanofabricated adaptive (<i>habitat</i>) landscapes.

At the nanoscale, this distinction blurs into a soft-matter physical (adaptive) system. We are interested in autopoiesis, self-regeneration, self-assembly, self-replication, and adaptation (bio-computation) in biophysical evolutionary systems. <br> |
<b>TECHNOLOGY:</b> We are interested in evolving life (<i>metabolism</i>) into physical materials to provide biology-based functionality to human-built devices. We see nano-bio as the natural outcome of the evolutionary trajectory of technology. It corresponds to an the adaptive radiation into the nanoscopic world within the human built-environment. | <b>TECHNOLOGY:</b> We are interested in evolving life (<i>metabolism</i>) into physical materials to provide biology-based functionality to human-built devices.
