Nada Elmeligy — Physics of Learning and Living Matter
Physicist Nada Elmeligy presents research asking how living and non-living matter can learn, adapt, and remember without a central controller.
- For
- Readers of physics, complex systems, and embodied cognition
- Worth noticing
- The research connects bacterial cell-wall learning, sleep-like phases in spring networks, and crypt formation in organoids.
Field notes
The homepage organizes its research through linked concepts such as physical learning, mechanochemical feedback, self-organization, and disordered matter. Its project descriptions connect those ideas to specific systems, including a modeled bacterial cell wall and spring networks that may require an offline, sleep-like phase. The organoid project credits collaborators and prior modeling work, making the research lineage visible alongside the questions being pursued.
