Andrew Rutenberg

Andrew Rutenberg is a Professor in the Department of Physics & Atmospheric Science at Dalhousie University's Faculty of Science. His research bridges theoretical and computational approaches in physics to address fundamental questions in aging and soft-matter systems.

• Research Topics:
• Biological Physics
• Computational Physics
• Soft-matter Theory
• Physics of Aging

The RutenGroup focuses on computational modeling of organismal aging and mortality across humans and model organisms. Their work integrates top-down (data-first), middle-out (phenomenology-informed), and bottom-up (modeling) frameworks. Additionally, they investigate collagen fibril aging using coarse-grained models from soft-matter physics, aiming to understand structural degradation at the molecular level.
