Research

I am working on theoretical research of soft active matter to understand various biological phenomena through fluids. Soft matter deals with fluid dynamics and statistical mechanics of soft materials such as polymers and liquid crystals. In contrast, active matter aims to expand the scope to biological materials such as cells. In this context, I have been researching intracellular rheology and diffusion, elastohydrodynamics in cell membranes, microswimmer, and variational principles of fluctuating hydrodynamics. In recent years, I have also been analyzing the behavior of objects with broken mechanical energy conservation in fluids.
