Bio:
Kinjal Dasbiswas' research interests lie in soft condensed matter physics, particularly the use of continuum theories of matter and statistical physics to understand and discover new physical phenomena in biological matter occurring in cells and tissue. Dasbiswas is a theoretical physicist working on biological and soft matter physics at the University of California in Merced since September, 2018. Before joining UC Merced, he held postdoctoral positions at the James Franck Institute in the University of Chicago and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. He obtained a Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter physics from the University of Florida in 2012 working on low temperature phases of matter.
