- Description:
- This dissertation explores the entanglements of performed refusals and witnessing practices in the face of gendered violences. I analyze how contemporary artists use staged performance to generate new modes for witnessing histories of gendered violence across temporal and national boundaries. In particular, I investigate four performances addressing local histories of...

- Description:
- The simplicity of morphogenesis, manifested as collective shape changes, emerges from complex biophysical regulations within a multicellular embryo. Constructing a spatio-temporal atlas of mechanical stresses is central for understanding the emergence of this simplicity. Developing a new mathematical theory for the static mechanics of three-dimensional multicellular aggregates involving pressures and...

- Description:
- Bacteria represent the most abundant form of life on Earth and have evolved to successfully colonize nearly every environmental niche. In doing so, bacteria predominately form multicellular communities known as biofilms, resulting in increased resilience, persistence, and emergent behaviors. Consequently, biofilms present an attractive target for engineering and synthetic biology,...

Gaze and Gait: How Motor Learning and Concussive Injury Change Where We Look and Our Visual Reliance
- Description:
- Visual information plays a critical role in controlling movement. People use visual information to plan future actions and correct current actions through feedforward and feedback processes, respectively. We can gain insights into these visually guided motor control processes by quantifying where people look during movement and measuring how much they...
