Ulrich S. Schwarz PhD

Ulrich S. Schwarz is a theoretical physicist who works on different subjects in the fields of soft matter and biological physics. In particular, he uses concepts and methods from physics to understand the adhesion and mechanics of biological cells. His interest on the cellular level also branches out to the sub-cellular level (assembly of supramolecular complexes in cells) and to the multi-cellular context (model tissue, organoids, collective migration). His group uses methods from statistical physics, computational physics, continuum mechanics, non-linear dynamics, and stochastic dynamics.
