triangulax: Differentiable Simulations with Triangular Meshes across Soft Matter Physics
Samuel Silliman, Qiwei Yu, Nikolas Claussen
Many physical and biological systems -foams, membranes, elastic shells, or tissue sheets- can be mathematically described as 2D surfaces. These surfaces can host complex dynamics,…
Bridging Control, Inference, Transport, and Thermodynamics: From Theory to Applications in Learning
Emmy Blumenthal, Nikolas Claussen, Benjamin Eysenbach +4
The last decade has seen the development of powerful methods for learning complex structure from high-dimensional data. These advances have brought to the foreground fundamental co…
Tissue shape from cell-scale active tensions
Nikolas H. Claussen, Fridtjof Brauns, Boris I. Shraiman
Connecting cell and tissue mechanics is a fundamental challenge in the physics of morphogenesis. Conventional elasticity theory is generally inapplicable: cytoskeletal turnover pre…
Emergent Elasticity and Quasiconformal Flow in Active Solids
Nikolas H. Claussen, Fridtjof Brauns, Boris I. Shraiman
Elasticity theory rests on a constitutive relation between stress and strain relative to a reference state. Living matter, however, generates forces by motor molecule activity inde…
