I lead a research group that theoretically studies statistical mechanics phenomena in soft condensed matter systems, ranging from geometric frustration in colloidal and mechanical metamaterials to irreversibility and non-reciprocity in biological as well as synthetic active matter. I also head the Tel Aviv University Center for Physics and Chemistry of Living Systems, which hosts 30 research groups working on various aspects of soft matter.
