Daniel H. Reich

Dr. Daniel H. Reich investigates emerging trends in the fields of biological physics and experimental condensed matter physics. As a distinguished professor in the Physics & Astronomy Department at Johns Hopkins University, he has dedicated his career to exploring the intricate mechanics of cells and tissues, as well as the fascinating dynamics of complex fluids and active matter. After earning his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1988, Dr. Reich embarked on a journey to unravel the mysteries of cellular mechanotransduction and the microrheology of active matter. His pioneering research has significantly contributed to our understanding of how cells and tissues respond to mechanical stimuli, a crucial aspect of numerous biological processes. Dr. Reich's work extends beyond biological systems, delving into the realm of materials for organic electronics. His investigations into the properties and behaviors of these materials have the potential to revolutionize the way we approach electronic devices, offering new possibilities for innovation and application. Throughout his career, Dr. Reich has been committed to advancing the field of physics through both his research and his role as an educator. His contributions have not only enriched the scientific community but have also inspired a new generation of physicists to explore the dynamic interplay between physics and biology.
