معرفی
Daniel Seara is a Research Fellow at the University of Chicago. His work focuses on the energetics of biological systems, particularly the actomyosin cytoskeleton, using stochastic thermodynamics to study non-equilibrium behaviors. He holds a Ph.D. from Yale University (2021), advised by Michael Murrell, with a dissertation exploring energy dissipation in biological materials.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Physics, Yale University, 2021
Research Interests: Daniel investigates how energy consumption at microscopic scales influences macroscopic mechanical properties and dynamics in living matter. His studies integrate experimental analysis, simulations, and theoretical models to understand phase transitions, contractility, and synchronization in biological systems like actomyosin networks. Key themes include fluid-solid phase transitions, thermodynamic irreversibility, and the role of energy dissipation in cellular processes.
Awards:
- 2015 Leigh Page Prize
