About
Amaresh Sahu is an assistant professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at UT Austin. His theoretical research group broadly focuses on understanding various soft and living matter systems over a wide range of length and time scales.
As a postdoc, he worked with Professor Emre Aksay in the Physiology & Biophysics Department at Weill Cornell Medicine. There, they developed theories of electrically excitable biological membranes, with applications to neurons and the nervous system.
During his Ph.D., Sahu worked with Professor Kranthi Mandadapu to develop theories and numerical methods describing biological membranes. Before Berkeley, he majored in chemical engineering at Princeton University, where he worked with Professor Howard Stone.
