Professor Guasto recently visited the Physics Department at Trinity, where he delivered a seminar on bacterial biomechanics to broad undergraduate audience from science and engineering.

Nicolas joins us from Lyderic Bocquet’s group in Lyon, France and will be working on bacterial transport using microfluidic devices.

Prof. Guasto was hosted by the Department of Physics at Wesleyan University where he spoke about bacterial transport in fluid flow.

Recent work in collaboration with MIT and the Weizmann Institute on how ciliary flows in corals actively enhance mass transport  will be publish in PNAS. Both the BBC News and MIT News have covered this story, including a short video.   … Continue reading →

Yang will be working on liquid crystal switching dynamics for her M.S. thesis research.

The Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics held an extensive series of biofluid dynamics Minisymposia at the SIAM Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois. Among them, Prof. Guasto organized a symposium on the Mechanics of Flagellar Locomotion, where he presented work … Continue reading →

A summer course on the ‘Mechanobiology of Cells and Tissues: Motility to Morphogenesis’ was held at the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM) in Udine, Italy from June 16-20, 2014. Prof. Guasto delivered six lectures on the motility of single … Continue reading →

Jules Lacombe will be doing a summer internship in the Guasto Lab. Jules is currently a student at ENSTA ParisTech (France) and has strong interests in fluid mechanics. This summer, he will investigate the transport of swimming cells in confined environments. … Continue reading →
