Andrej Košmrlj

Andrej Košmrlj is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University. His research focuses on biomechanics and biomaterials, as well as materials science. Košmrlj's work involves theoretical and computational studies of complex systems, including the design and mechanics of metamaterials, the role of geometry and topology in structural mechanics, and the mechanics of biological systems such as morphogenesis during embryo development. He is also involved in phase separation in multicomponent systems. Košmrlj joined Princeton University in 2015 and is affiliated with the Princeton Materials Institute and the Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute.

Andrej Košmrlj is an Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University, specializing in mechanics, statistical mechanics, soft matter, and biophysics. His research explores the interplay between physical principles and biological systems, focusing on topics such as DNA search mechanisms, bacterial biofilm morphology, and the mechanical behavior of soft materials. Košmrlj's work integrates theoretical and computational approaches to understand complex phenomena in both biological and non-biological systems, including phase behavior, mechanical instabilities, and viscoelastic properties. His research bridges disciplines to uncover fundamental principles governing structure and function in soft and living matter.
