I am an Assistant Professor and the director of the Physical Mathematics Laboratory in the Department of Mathematics at UNC. Before I was an Instructor in the Department of Mathematics at MIT. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh, and pursued brief post-doctoral studies at Imperial College London. I am passionate about fundamental research. My interests include hydrodynamic quantum analogs, fluid mechanics, non-equilibrium soft matter physics, collective dynamics, and any ot...| PML
The Archibald Henderson Medal The Archibald Henderson Mathematics Medal was established in 1931 and named after the late Archibald Henderson, a mathematician, teacher, literary critic, biographer, and historian. For fifty years Henderson was a member of the Department of Mathematics … Read more| Department of Mathematics

Dr. Polacheck’s laboratory investigates the physical interactions between cells and their environment and how forces at the cellular scale contribute to tissue development, homeostasis, and disease. To study how cells sense and generate forces in living tissue, the Polacheck lab develops microfluidic technology to build microtissues in the laboratory that mimic the architecture and multicellular function of human tissues in vivo. By integrating these organ-on-chip models with genome editing...| Lampe Joint BME
