Harish Pruthviraj Jain

Harish will be supervised by prof. Luiza Angheluta. He writes the following about himself: "I did my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from India and Masters in Computational Modelling and Simulation from TU Dresden, Germany. During my masters I worked on a field based multicell model that considers cells as deformable bodies. The cells in the model grow, divide, move, and interact with each other. The cells are circular in absence of interaction with other cells, and change their shape based on forces from other cells. I also worked on agent based modelling of evolution of cancer cells. Here, I explored the relations between the genotype, phenotype and the environment of the cell. In Njord I will be working in the field of active matter pertaining to cells, bacterias and organisms. My approach will be an interplay between theory and simulations."
