Postdoctoral Research Scientist
Soft Matter Theory Group
Instituut-Lorentz for Theoretical Physics
Leiden University, The Netherlands
Dr. Paulose writes:
“I am a postdoctoral research scientist in the Soft Matter Theory Group at the Instituut-Lorentz for theoretical physics, Leiden University. I am interested in the mechanics and statistical mechanics of soft materials. In the past few years, I have studied the mechanical response of slender elastic rods, plates, and shells, focusing on the effects of inhomogeneity and stochastic fluctuations. I'm currently interested in using similar ideas to describe biological systems including virus shells, the bacterial cell wall and mammalian muscle tissue, as well as strongly disordered elastic systems such as granular packings. Previously, I was a graduate student in the Applied Physics Ph.D. program at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in the research group of Prof. David R. Nelson. An electronic version of my thesis is available. I graduated from Princeton University in 2007 with an undergraduate degree in Physics and certificates in Engineering Physics and Applications of Computing.”
