October 10, 2024. The Agmon Lab is thrilled to welcome Dr. Tasnif Rahman, our newest postdoctoral researcher, who brings a blend of expertise in tissue engineering, computational biomechanics, and microbiology. Tasnif’s research will focus on developing multi-scale computational models to study the interactions between bacterial communities and host tissues, a vital area in understanding microbial dynamics within human health.

Tasnif completed his PhD at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where his thesis explored how multicellular mechanical models can explain symmetry breaking in tissue and organ morphogenesis. Now, he’s eager to build on his computational skillset and delve back into bacteriology, an area of study he first pursued during his undergraduate training in microbiology. Outside of research, Tasnif enjoys unwinding with video games, basketball, and dance music. His multidisciplinary background and enthusiasm for computational modeling make him a fantastic addition to the lab.
