Summary
Living systems build complex structures, such as cellular scaffolds or protein-based compartments, by assembling many small pieces in dynamic and often unpredictable ways. These processes do not always follow a single path. Instead, they can proceed through many possible routes depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and chemical signals. This project seeks to determine how and why certain assembly pathways are preferred over others, especially when systems are driven away from stable states by external influences. To address this challenge, the project will develop new compu
