Sangwoo Kim is a researcher at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, focusing on the mechanics of biological tissues and their role in development and morphogenesis. His work explores how mechanical forces and cellular interactions influence tissue shape, organ formation, and pattern formation. Kim's research integrates biophysics, cell biology, and computational modeling to understand the physical principles underlying embryonic development and tissue organization. His studies span topics such as active foams in embryonic tissues, nuclear jamming transitions, and the mechanical control of morphogenetic flows. By combining experimental and theoretical approaches, Kim investigates how mechanical stresses and cellular dynamics drive developmental processes.
