Research in the Dinner group centers on the statistical mechanics of systems far from equilibrium, particularly its application to understanding what is life.

Research Interests: My group and I develop theoretical and computational approaches to understand the physical chemical basis of complex behavior in living systems.  We are particularly interested in understanding how cells harness energy from their environments to organize their molecular interactions in space and time.  To this end, we are working in close collaboration with experimental researchers to design and analyze quantitative measurements of living systems, and, in turn, implement predictive physical models. One feature of biological dynamics that makes this challenging is that they span a hierarchy of length and time scales ranging from Ångstroms and femtoseconds to millimeters and days.
