About

Aparna Baskaran is an Associate Professor of Physics at Brandeis University, USA. Her research focuses on active materials, particularly in the dynamics and structural transitions of systems involving microtubules and molecular motors. Recent articles highlight her work on phototaxis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, optimal control theory in active nematics, and the application of machine learning in analyzing defects in these complex systems.
