معرفی
Dr. Guillaume Duclos is an Assistant Professor in the Martin A. Fisher School of Physics at Brandeis University, where he leads the Duclos Lab. His research focuses on the physics of active matter, biomimetic systems, and the interplay between molecular motors and soft materials. He holds a PhD from Institut Curie and Pierre et Marie Curie University (Paris, France).
His lab investigates pattern formation in active materials, topological defects in nematics, and collective cell migration. Key funding includes NSF CAREER (2021–2026) and DOE Early Career (2023–2028) awards. Current students include Annemarie Winters (co-advised with Hannah Yevick), Benjamin Strain, Bennett Sessa, and Adrielle Cusi. Alumni include Dr. Bibi Najma (now at Caltech) and Dr. Salman Alam (at Lam Research).
The lab emphasizes interdisciplinary training in biophysics, soft matter, and quantitative biology. Recent work includes studies on 3D pattern formation in protein-membrane systems, microtubule-motor interactions, and active nematic droplets. Research facilities support cutting-edge microscopy and computational modeling.
