Andrew Mugler received his PhD in physics at Columbia University in 2010 and did postdoctoral work at FOM Institute AMOLF and Emory University before beginning as an assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Purdue in 2014. His research uses theory and computation to understand how cell-cell communication gives rise to collective behaviors such as sensing, migration, and tissue-level changes. He is a 2015-2020 Simons Investigator in the Mathematical Modeling of Living Systems, and he maintains active collaborations with experimental groups investigating collective cellular phenomena.
