معرفی
Nikta Fakhri is the Thomas D. & Virginia W. Cabot Career Development Associate Professor of Physics at MIT, affiliated with the Physics of Living Systems Group. Her research focuses on non-equilibrium physics in living systems, exploring active matter's mechanical properties and nonequilibrium mechanisms. She pioneered fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotube probes for biophysical studies.
- Education: BSc from Sharif University of Technology, PhD from Rice University
- Postdoc: Human Frontier Science Program fellow at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen
Research interests include active biological systems' emergent properties, engineering functional materials, and universal behaviors in non-equilibrium systems. Her work bridges physics, biology, and engineering.
Awards include NSF CAREER Award (2019), IUPAP Young Scientist Prize (2018), and APS Early Career Award (2022).
Labs/Teams: Fakhri Lab (specializing in active matter and biophysical probes). Grants include HFSPO Career Development Award (2016) and Sloan Fellowship (2017).
