L. Mahadevan Recipient of the Suzanne Eaton Physics of Life Award

Congratulations to Professor L. Mahadevan, Lola England de Valpine Professor of Applied Mathematics, of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and of Physics, as the recipient of the inaugural Suzanne Eaton Physics of Life Award from Physics of Life, Dresden University of Technology. 

The Suzanne Eaton Awards for Physics of Life recognize outstanding scientific contributions to the physics of living systems, encompassing theoretical, experimental, and computational work at the interface of physics and biology. Professor Mahadevan was chosen for his work which has helped define physics of life by showing how a small set of theoretical principles closely linked with experiments determine the shapes and motions of multicellular tissues, organs, organisms and their collectives.
