o.Zunera JAVAIDo.Graduate Student (Yasuda Group)

Hiroshima University, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Mathematical and Life Science Program, D1

Zunera works at the intersection of computational biology and soft matter physics. With a focus on how multivalent interactions and reaction-diffusion dynamics give rise to topological defects, her work uses Monte Carlo lattice simulations to predict liquid-liquid phase separation in protein condensates. By adding non-equilibrium behavior to coarse-grained models, she aims to comprehend the basic mechanisms underlying the formation of membraneless organelles. Her broader area of interest in science is how topology and soft-matter physics shape biological structure at all scales, from the molecular to the mesoscale.
