Biography

Hannah Yevick graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, attending the university from 2004-2007. She then went on to receive a Master’s degree in Physics from Columbia University in 2009, having attended the university since 2007. She then went on to work on her PhD in Biophysics at Institut Curie, completing it July of 2020 after beginning it September of 2010. Within the timeframe of receiving her PhD, she took on two positions within Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She served as a Postdoctoral Associate from July 2015 to July of 2020 before becoming a Research Scientist, remaining so until August of 2022. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Physics and Biology at Brandeis University, where she conducts research using her expertise in physics and biology.[1].

Research Interests

Hannah Yevick's research focuses on the mechanics of development, specifically how mechanical interactions within developing tissues influence their shape and function[2]. By analyzing the physical principles that govern tissue formation, her work aims to uncover potential developmental defects arising from dysregulation[3]. Additionally, she employs cell culture techniques and studies early embryonic development in Drosophila (fruit flies) to investigate how cellular architecture and intercellular connectivity affect collective behaviors during development[4].

Awards and Honors

Yevick received the NIH Pathway to Independence Award in 2023 while teaching as an assistant professor at Brandeis University for her research project[5]
