Statistical physics of biological self-organization : case studies in protein folding and adaptation to time-varying fields
… quantitative insights into the behavior of biological systems. In the first half of the thesis, we use equilibrium statistical physics to develop a phenomenological model of how the hydrophobic effect impacts the structure of proteins, and in the second half, we study the phenomenon of …

Propagation of engineered cellular properties to colony scales in bacterial populations
Biological development is a complex and elegant process that generates the vast array of form and shape found in nature. This process is an example of self-organization, whereby a global pattern of cells is generated by the propagation of local intercellular interactions to larger scales. …

Gene Expression Control for Synthetic Patterning of Bacterial Populations and Plants
… biologists, despite its fundamental role in biological self-organization. In this thesis, I introduce the first synthetic genetic system implementing population-based AND logic for programmed hierarchical patterning of bacterial populations of Escherichia coli, and address fundamental …
