Haicen Yue is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Vermont, affiliated with the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences. His research focuses on applying physics principles from soft matter, active matter, and statistical physics to study multicellular biological systems. Key areas of interest include collective cell migration, tissue engineering, embryonic development, and cancer invasion. Dr. Yue holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, San Diego (2018) and a B.S. in Physics from Peking University, China (2011).

His work bridges biophysics and computational modeling to understand how physical principles govern biological processes. Recent studies investigate electrotactic guidance of cell groups, supracellular organization in developmental systems, and chemotactic memory mechanisms. The Yue Lab explores emergent behaviors in dense cellular sheets and the interplay between mechanical forces and biological signaling pathways.
Research trends in his articles highlight a focus on collective phenomena, such as group size-dependent migration dynamics, frictional fluid mechanics in active matter, and scale-dependent tissue behaviors. He employs both theoretical frameworks and experimental collaborations to address questions in developmental biology and cancer mechanics.
His lab's website (YUE LAB) details ongoing projects and interdisciplinary approaches to biophysical systems.
