It’s official: I have been awarded tenure @MIT_Physics @MIT.
Incredibly proud to be a part of MIT’s inspiring and empowering community, including the amazing @FakhriLab group.
Upward!

- Very excited our work on chiral & nonreciprocal active matter is out @Nature. nature.com/articles/s4158… We discovered sea star embryos form living chiral crystals with unusual material properties e.g. odd elasticity & mechanical waves. @tzerhan29 @junang_li @pjfoster @ShreyasG86
00:00 - Exciting news! The textbook 'Soft Matter: Concepts, Phenomena, and Applications' is now available, complete with its accompanying website. This is a fantastic resource for the soft and active matter communities.
- Very excited to share a new preprint on quantifying thermodynamic arrow of time in living matter (experiment & theory). A wonderful collaboration between my group @MIT_Physics and Jordan Horowitz @UMBiophys . @tzerhan29 @yuchenchaoXD @junang_li arxiv.org/abs/2107.05701
- Honored & thrilled to be the recipient of @APSphysics @ApsDsoft 2022 Early Career Award for Soft Matter Research. I am truly grateful to do what I love along with my amazing group @MIT_Physics, collaborators & colleagues around the globe. Ad astra! aps.org/programs/honor…
- Our new lab residents. Very excited to explore the wondrous world of marine active matter!
- Very excited to share a new work from @AlexandruBacan2 , James Pelletier & Yoon Jung @MIT_Physics on using correlations to quantify irreversibility in living matter. Out today in @NatureNano. It combines my love of carbon nanotubes & arrow of time! nature.com/articles/s4156…
- New office vibes… MIT Physics of Living Systems is relocating to @MIT building 4. Very excited for the new office and lab space and the proximity to the rest of @MIT_Physics ! @FakhriLab @jeffchengore
- Truly an honor to be the recipient of @ApsDsoft Early Career Award this year. And thanks to @CorentinCoulais, @karenedaniels & co-organizers for an exciting session on emergent mechanics of active, robotic & living materials. #apsmarchCongratulations to Prof. Nikta Fakhri (MIT) on her "2022 Early Career Award for Soft Matter Research" award! We invite everyone to attend her talk during the "DSOFT Prize Session". Location: W-185BC/McCormick Time: 11:30 AM (Mon, March 14) [Tweet: 1/2]
- Such wonderful news! Annette Zippelius is awarded the German Physical Society 2022 Max Planck medal. The first woman to receive the medal since 1949, when it was jointly awarded to Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn.
