YONG Group: Theoretical Biological & Statistical Physics
Welcome!
This is the research group website of Ee Hou YONG.
I am an assistant professor at the Division of Physics and Applied Physics in the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Our group works on theoretical problems in biological and statistical physics, ranging from the morphology of living systems, Physics of non-equilibrium complex systems, collective behavior in nature, topology-enhanced physical models for biopolymer, etc. Please see the Research page for a summary of our research work.
