معرفی
Josh Baker is a Professor and Associate Vice President for Research at the University of Nevada, Reno, affiliated with the University of Nevada School of Medicine's Department of Pharmacology. His research focuses on the thermodynamics of muscle contraction, quantum heat engines, and entropic stability of biological systems.
- Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Molecular Biology (University of Minnesota, 1999)
- B.S. in Physics (Hamline University, 1987)
Research interests span muscle thermodynamics, mechanochemical coupling, and multiscale modeling of biological systems. His work explores the intersection of physics and biology to understand fundamental cellular processes.
Current research trends examine quantum thermodynamics in muscle systems, entropic forces in cellular stability, and multiscale modeling approaches. Publications analyze phenomena from single molecule dynamics to whole-cell behaviors.
Notable roles include Director of NIH NV INBRE since 2016 and leadership in research innovation at the University of Nevada. His work bridges experimental and theoretical approaches in biophysics.
