Vaiana has a research background in soft matter physics applied to biological systems. She uses methods from phase transition and polymer physics to understand the structure, dynamics and self-assembly of intrinsically disordered proteins.

Solis' research interests are in the field of the physics of biological systems.

Kirian's interests include free-electron lasers and x-ray diffractive imaging techniques.

Ros' research interests are in experimental biophysics and nanoscience.

Daniels studies the logic of collective behavior in living systems, using real-world data to build predictive models at the scale of individual interactions, and abstracting away from these toward general principles.

Schlosser, a renowned Earth scientist, leads the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory at ASU.

Shepherd directs the Quantitative Imaging and Inference lab (qi2lab). qi2lab seeks to understand how the laws of physics interact with the rules of life using computational imaging and quantitative analysis tools.

The Wadhwa lab investigates how cells generate, sense, and respond to physical forces.
