He has a BS and a MS degree in polymer engineering from Amirkabir University (Tehran, Iran). He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from City University of New York in 2013. Afterwards, he did a postdoctoral study in Courant Institute of mathematical sciences (NYU) and Center for Computational Biology at Simons Foundation, before joining APS on July 2017. His research focuses on theoretical and computational study of soft and biological materials, including suspensions, membranes, biopolymers, and cellular matter. His research is fundamentally interdisciplinary intersecting areas such as fluid mechanics, statistical mechanics and computational physics and it involves close collaborations with experimentalists in life and materials sciences. ehssan@unc.edu | publications https://www.nazockdastlab.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Contact https://www.nazockdastlab.com/wenzheng daily 0.75 2020-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfec1bf29e3050a8a44f4b5/1577335405012-F4DIWWXA3D4FNX0J1F1M/wzmiu.png Learn more about Wenzheng here. - Wenzheng Shi PhD Student Wenzheng joined us from central China. He is a second-year PhD student in our group. He has a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering . His research at the moment involves understanding the how septin filaments sense membranes’ curvature, using biophysical modeling and simulations. This is a collaboration between our group and Gladfelter’s Lab at UNC’s Biology department. He joined us in fall 2018. swz18@unc.edu | publications https://www.nazockdastlab.com/nima daily 0.75 2019-12-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfec1bf29e3050a8a44f4b5/1577350073809-6XGGY4APZXAJGU448PRX/nimamiu.png Learn more about Nima here. - Nima Mirzaeian PhD Student Nima is our latest catch. He is a materials science PhD student joined us in summer 2019. He holds a master’s in Engineering Technology from the University of Houston where he built a remarkable background in complex fluids and suspension mechanics. His doctorate project is focused on cytoskeletal active matter, particularly, he studies the underlying physical principles for mitotic spindle formation and faithful chromosome segregation. Ideally, he expects to develop high-resolution computer simulations of the spindle that accounts for activities of motor proteins and dynamic instability of microtubules. nmirzaei@unc.edu | publications https://www.nazockdastlab.com/appointments daily 0.75 2019-12-28 https://www.nazockdastlab.com/updates daily 0.75 2025-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfec1bf29e3050a8a44f4b5/0823420c-602a-4ddd-83c2-f84134185371/Reciprocal_Fig.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Updates https://www.nazockdastlab.com/moslem daily 0.75 2019-12-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfec1bf29e3050a8a44f4b5/1577335309236-S4BFQ85T6P63KR76PUXZ/mossmiu.png Learn more about Moslem here. - Moslem Moradi Postdoctoral Researcher Moslem obtained a PhD in Physics from the University of Zanjan in Iran. His experience and interest lies in physics of active matter and microhydrodynamics. Moslem’s postdoctoral research focuses on microrheology of eukaryotic cells under external forces and flows. He is currently developing analytical expressions that allow characterizing the time- and force-dependent rheology of the cell cytoplasm as a function of the displacements of the cell membrane and the cell nucleus.
