Bio/Research

Alain Goriely is an applied mathematician with broad interests in mathematics, science, and engineering. His research in mathematical methods, nonlinear dynamics, and theoretical mechanics has led him to collaborate closely with scientists from many other disciplines such as engineering, biology, medical sciences, chemistry, and physics. His current research includes the mechanics of biological growth and its applications to plants and physiology; the mathematical foundations of elasticity; the dynamics of curves, knots, and rods; the design of proteins; the modelling of cancer; the data analysis of genomics experiments; and the development of mathematical methods for applied sciences. Alain Goriely also enjoys popular science and scientific outreach. He has published various articles about miscellaneous scientific problems for large audience connected to his research including the perversion of tendrils in plants, the twining of climbing plants, the knotting of umbilical cords, and the cracking of whips
