Скачать или смотреть PhySU Colloquium - An Introduction to Biophysics

The PhySU Undergraduate Colloquia are weekly presentations given by undergraduate students on physics topics, intended to make a wider variety of subject areas more accessible to the student body.

This week, Joseph Kuhi is presenting “An Introduction to Biophysics”.

The field of biophysics is quite enigmatic in nature and can be difficult to parse without consistent consideration of the biological, physical, and everything in between. This talk attempts to elucidate the field, providing context for physical concepts in biological contexts. It will explore this interaction from microscopic to macroscopic environments, examining processes such as the harmonic oscillation of eardrums and the quantum tunneling of point particle mutations in DNA.
