PhD Student in Chemistry Investigates Turing Patterns

Chris Konow researches the impact of growth on Turing patterns in the Epstein Lab. Turing patterns are named after the British mathematician Alan Turing, who proposed a mechanism for how differentiation can occur within a homogeneous system. The Epstein and Fraden labs at Brandeis have provided experimental support for Turing's predictions and are currently performing research to improve our understanding of the Turing mechanism.
