Max Bi

Max Bi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Northeastern University's College of Science. His research focuses on theoretical and computational approaches to understand collective and emergent phenomena in biological and non-biological systems, particularly in the context of soft condensed matter physics and biophysics.

His research interests include the study of out-of-equilibrium and disordered systems, with applications to cell and tissue mechanics. Key areas of focus are mechanosensing during collective cell migration, biomechanical models for morphogenesis and embryogenesis, and the application of physics principles to crowd dynamics and safety.

Max Bi has received notable recognition for his work, including the prestigious 2022 Sloan Research Fellowship. He advises PhD student Anh Nguyen. Details about grants are not provided in the available information.

He is affiliated with the Theoretical Soft Matter and Biophysics Group at Northeastern University and collaborates closely with experimentalists to bridge theoretical models with real-world biological systems.
