Alexander Y Grosberg is a Professor of Physics at New York University, specializing in polymers, biopolymers, biophysics, and soft matter. His research explores the statistical physics of macromolecules, focusing on polymer chains, charge inversion, and the behavior of DNA in nanopores. Grosberg's work includes modeling DNA translocation, protein folding kinetics, and the role of topological constraints in genome folding. He investigates the physical mechanisms underlying biopolymer behavior, such as electrostatic focusing, DNA knotting, and the globule-to-coil transition. His studies contribute to understanding the interplay between structure and function in biological systems.
