Postdoctoral Fellow
UC San Diego
Dr. Emmet A. Francis is currently an ASEE postdoctoral fellow at UC San Diego in Dr. Padmini Rangamani's group in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. His research focuses on computational modeling of cell signaling and cell mechanics. He is currently working on developing software to simulate spatiotemporal signaling dynamics within releastic cell geometries. His PhD was in Biomedical Engineering at UC Davis in Dr. Volkmar Heinrich's lab, studying mechanics and calcium signaling in neutrophil chemotaxis and phagocytosis.
