Jayson Paulose is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Oregon, affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences and the Institute for Fundamental Science. His research spans theoretical soft matter physics, biophysics, evolutionary dynamics, and metamaterials design, focusing on the intersection of topology, geometry, and statistical mechanics in artificial and biological systems. Academic Roles: Faculty member in the Department of Physics, Director of the MSTC Program. Research Themes: Designer matter (topological and active metamaterials), biological systems (elasticity of thin shells, evolutionary genetics), and mechanical principles in soft structures. Collaborations: Partners with experimentalists and theorists in physics, materials science, and biology at UO and institutions like Leiden University. Lab: Paulose Group, which includes graduate and undergraduate researchers, explores problems such as topological protection in metamaterials and genetic propagation in populations. Research Interests include: Topological soft matter: Using symmetry and geometry to design materials with robust mechanical properties. Evolutionary dynamics: Modeling the impact of long-range dispersal on genetic diversity and population structure. Elastic mechanics: Analyzing thin shells and membranes relevant to biological systems. Active matter: Studying non-equilibrium systems like rotating dimer particles and synthetic metamaterials. Publications reflect his interdisciplinary focus, with recent work (2023–2024) on mechanical metamaterials, elastic shells, and stochastic population genetics, and earlier contributions to active spinner materials and topological protection in biological systems. Education & Training of students in his lab emphasizes theoretical rigor and computational techniques, with alumni transitioning to postdoctoral positions and industry roles in mechanical engineering, data science, and software development.
