معرفی
Dr. Farshid Jafarpour is an Assistant Professor of Theoretical Physics at Utrecht University's Faculty of Science. He is affiliated with the Theoretical Physics (ITF) group, specializing in Condensed Matter Theory and Statistical & Computational Physics. His research focuses on applying stochastic processes, nonlinear dynamics, and nonequilibrium statistical physics to biological systems across scales, including bacterial growth modeling, biological homochirality origins, and pattern formation in chemical/biological systems.
He teaches courses such as Advanced Topics in Theoretical Physics II, Biological and Soft Matter Physics, and Stochastic Processes in Biophysics. His work bridges single-cell dynamics with population-level phenomena, emphasizing the interplay between stochasticity and deterministic processes in biological systems. Recent publications explore population growth oscillations, noise-induced symmetry breaking, and scaling concepts in genomic data.
Dr. Jafarpour's research group offers projects for students with strong probabilistic and coding skills, particularly in stochastic modeling. His contributions span theoretical physics and biophysics, addressing fundamental questions about life's emergence and biological complexity.
