The hidden topological structure of flow network functionality
Jason W. Rocks, Andrea J. Liu, Eleni Katifori
The ability to reroute and control flow is vital to the function of venation networks across a wide range of organisms. By modifying individual edges in these networks, either by a…
Threading the spindle: a geometric study of chiral liquid crystal polymer microparticles
H. S. Ansell, D. S. Kim, R. D. Kamien +2
Polymeric particles are strong candidates for designing artificial materials capable of emulating the complex twisting-based functionality observed in biological systems. In this l…
Revealing structure-function relationships in functional flow networks via persistent homology
Jason W. Rocks, Andrea J. Liu, Eleni Katifori
Complex networks encountered in biology are often characterized by significant structural diversity. Whether it be differences in the three-dimensional structure of allosteric prot…
Tuning and jamming reduced to their minima
Miguel Ruiz-Garcia, Andrea J. Liu, Eleni Katifori
Inspired by protein folding, we introduce funnels into the complex cost function landscapes of two processes, the tuning of networks, and the jamming of ideal spheres. In both proc…
