Mathias Casiulis is a soft matter physicist currently working as a postdoctoral associate at the Simons Center for Computational Physical Chemistry and at the Center for Soft Matter Research, both at New York University (NYU). Mathias holds two master’s degrees in physics from ESPCI Paris and from École Normale Supérieure and a PhD in physics from Sorbonne University. Mathias was a postdoctoral fellow at the Technion Israeli Institute of Technology before moving to NYU. Their research focuses on the numerical study of emergent properties in soft and active matter and in particular on unconventional forms of order.
