Guillaume Duclos is as assistant-professor in the Martin A. Fisher School of Physics, at Brandeis University. He first joined Brandeis in 2016 as a Human Frontier Science Program fellow. He started his lab in 2019, working at the interface of condensed matter physics and biology. His lab investigate the physical principles that underlie the emergence of collective behaviors in active and/or living materials. The term material is used here broadly to define dense suspensions of motile units, including crawling cells in a tissue and self-propelled bio-polymers in a network. His lab has expertise in: soft condensed matter physics, light microscopy, light sheet microscopy, biochemistry, cell biology, cell mechanics, microfabrication, microfluidics, micro-patterning, and quantitative image analysis.
