Mariya Savinov

| Mariya Savinov was a PhD student in Mathematics at New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Advised by Prof. Alex Mogilner and working in close collaboration with experimental laboratories, Savinov has used ideas from viscoelastic mechanics, fluid dynamics, percolation theory, and active matter to develop biomechanical models which reveal the role of friction, motor stress, and system size in actomyosin network dynamics. In their postdoc, Savinov is interested in developing new mathematical modeling approaches to investigate the underlying principles of adaptive collective dynamics of multicellular systems, generating experimentally testable predictions to explore with collaborators working on eukaryotic and prokaryotic model systems.
