Jos\u00e9 is interested in the interplay between the \u201chardware\u201d and \u201csoftware\u201d of biology. His lab addresses this interplay experimentally by building physical model systems in the lab. Jos\u00e9 received his MSc in Physics from the Universit\u00e4t 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.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Dr. Jos\u00e9 Alvarado","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"dr-jose-alvarado","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-04-24 11:46:42","post_modified_gmt":"2025-04-24 16:46:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/podcasts.la.utexas.edu\/the-materials-universe-podcast\/?post_type=speaker&p=162","menu_order":0,"post_type":"speaker","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"transcript":""},"episode_featured_image":false,"episode_player_image":"https:\/\/podcasts.la.utexas.edu\/the-materials-universe-podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2023\/10\/CDCM-Podcast-Logo-Alt-2.png","download_link":"https:\/\/podcasts.la.utexas.edu\/the-materials-universe-podcast\/podcast-download\/160\/control-theory-and-us.mp3","player_link":"https:\/\/podcasts.la.utexas.edu\/the-materials-universe-podcast\/podcast-player\/160\/control-theory-and-us.mp3","audio_player":"
