Postdoctoral associate Daniel Sussman was selected as a finalist for the postdoctoral speaker award by the APS Group for Statistical and Nonlinear Physics (GSNP). He presented his work on anomalous interfacial tension in simple models of confluent cells in a special award session at the APS March Meeting in Los Angeles.

An article by Daniel Sussman, Jen Schwarz, Cristina Marchetti, and Lisa manning, “Soft yet Sharp Interfaces in a Vertex Model of Confluent Tissue,” was published in Physical Review Letters and selected as an Editors’ Suggestion. The paper discusses how topological features of simple models of confluent cells can lead to unusual interfacial behavior.
