Dr.  Peshkov is a postdoctoral associate working at the University of Rochester in collaboration with Prof. Stephen Teitel and Prof. Alice Quillen. His current work is concentrated on the experimental investigation of biological active matter and numerical investigation of the jamming transition in granular matter. He received his PhD from Sorbonne at the CEA Saclay working on continuum models of active matter.
