José is interested in the interplay between the “hardware” and “software” of biology. His lab addresses this interplay experimentally by building physical model systems in the lab. José received his MSc in Physics from the Universität Leipzig, Germany; and his PhD in Physics from AMOLF and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands. He went on to do a postdoc in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and is now Assistant Professor in Physics at the University of Texas at Austin.
