A new technology for rapidly screening bacterial chemotaxis
The paper mill keeps churning, excited to announce the second publication from my time at Tufts University with Prof. Jeffrey Guasto in eLife! This was work led by Michael Stehnach, a PhD student at the time at Tufts University, and now a postdoc at Brandeis University. Many microbes are capable of exploring their environment by…
Upcoming talks: Physical Review Journal Club and Microscale Ocean Biophysics Seminar Series
Talks are like buses – they always come in pairs! This month I’m delighted to have been invited to speak at the Physical Review Journal Club about our recent paper on modal analysis of active turbulence on March 27th, then the following day I’ll be speaking as part of the Microscale Ocean Biophysics Seminar Series…
From many to few: how modal analysis benefits active turbulence
Delighted to announce the publication of the first of our works from my time at Tufts University with Prof. Jeffrey Guasto in Physical Review Fluids! This work was driven by Olivia G. Martin, an exceptional undergraduate who joined our lab for their senior thesis. I’m particularly proud that this work has been highlighted as an…
Two new papers to Biorxiv!
Excited to say that two of my papers from my PhD have been accepted onto Biorxiv and are now publicly available! The first paper is a long-standing project where we, for the first time, characterise the swimming behaviour and light-dependent motion of the most globally prominent member of the phytoplankton community – Micromonas! The second…
