Teaching with Blogs: A Leading Lines Interview with Humberto Garcia Posted by Derek Bruff on Tuesday, August 15, 2017 in News, Podcast. by Derek Bruff, CFT Director I’m happy to announce the start of Season 3 of Leading Lines, a podcast on educational technology co-produced by the Center for...

I am a theoretical physicist working on biological and soft matter physics at the University of California, Merced since September, 2018. I am working on a variety of problems on biological active matter and mechanobiology, with a focus on how active mechanical forces lead to self-organization of...
