Background
Sattvic Ray joined the JFI in September 2025 as a Center for Living Systems Fellow in the group of Margaret Gardel. He received his B.A. in Physics from the University of Chicago and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he studied active matter systems built from reconstituted proteins with Prof. Zvonimir Dogic. He is interested in understanding how cells implement mechanochemical feedback to regulate their physical properties, and using these insights to design bio-inspired active materials.
