Stefferson

Our paper " Design principles of selective transport through biopolymer barriers " was published in the 30 October 2019 edition of PRE today.

Design principles of selective transport through biopolymer barriers paper has been accepted to Physics Review E .

Our paper "Design principles of selective transport through biopolymer barriers" was posted on the BioRxiv server.

We develop a model motivated by features of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) which provides a framework to control binding-induced selective transport in bipolymeric materials.

Today the group celebrated four graduating students: Christopher Edelmaier (physics PhD), Nicolas Santander (engineering physics BS), Michael Stefferson (physics PhD) and Garrek Stemo (physics BA magna cum laude). Congratulations!

Congratulations to Michael Stefferson for successfully defending his PhD thesis today.

Michael Stefferson's paper "Effects of soft interactions and bound mobility on diffusion in crowded environments: a model of sticky and slippery obstacles" was accepted for publication by Physical Biology.

There are many biological systems in which tracer particles diffuse in a crowded environment. We implemented a lattice Monte Carlo model to analyze the effects of binding kinetics, bound motion, and obstacle size on tracer diffusive in the presence of soft obstacles.
