Parvin Bayati

Parvin Bayati is an **Assistant Research Professor** in the Department of Chemistry at Penn State University. She is affiliated with the Mallory Research Group and has held postdoctoral positions at Harvard University, Université Paris-Saclay, and Penn State. Her research focuses on theoretical and computational soft matter physics, particularly nonequilibrium systems like active matter and deformable interfaces.

**Education**:

• B.Sc. in Physics, University of Zanjan (2007)
• M.Sc. in Condensed Matter Physics, Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (2010)
• Ph.D. in Physics, University of Zanjan (2017)
• Sabbatical at Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (2016)

**Research Interests**: Combines particle-based simulations (e.g., Brownian dynamics), continuum theory (hydrodynamics), and physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to model complex fluids, colloidal suspensions, and biological systems. Recent work includes studies on active Brownian particles, surfactant dynamics, and phoretic Janus particles.

**Awards**:

• 2024 Research Grant, Harvard University
• 2017 INSF Postdoctoral Fellowship
• 2016 MSRT Guest Researcher Fellowship
• 2010 Iranian Nano-Science Foundation Award

**Labs/Teams**: Active member of the Mallory Lab, focusing on interdisciplinary soft matter research.
