Guasto Lab

Richard Henshaw earned his Ph.D. this spring from the University of Warwick (UK), where he was working with Prof. Marco Polin in Physics. He has recently joined our group as a postdoc … welcome Richard!

Nico’s paper in collaboration with Jorn Dunkel’s group will be published in Physical Review Fluids … congratulations Nico!

Congratulations! The advanced version of the article, which is in collaboration Jorn Dunkel’s group at MIT, can be found here. See also the accompanying article by Tufts Engineering News.

This work was in collaboration with Jorn Dunkel’s group at MIT and the paper can be found here.

Congratulations to Julia on defending her work on multiplexed microfluidic devices for bacterial chemotaxis screening!

In collaboration with Roman Stocker’s group at ETH Zurich, this work heterogeneity of chemotaxis in bacterial populations using a novel microfluidic device.

Congratulations Michael!

Nico and Prof. Guasto published a companion article for a recent paper in Nature Physics on phototactic motility, which can be found here.

In collaboration with Ben Wolfe’s group at from Tufts Biology, our work on how bacterial networks enhance bacterial dispersal was published in Nature Communications! You can find more on this work in a piece by TuftsNow and an contributer article by Ben at Nature.

Tufts University will host the 71st New England Complex Fluids Workshop on Friday June 16, 2017. The conference is a free, one-day event hosted by Prof. Jeff Guasto (Mechanical Engineering) and Prof. Tim Atherton (Physics). The NECFW will feature exciting array of invited talks plus short “sound bite” talks by students and postdocs in attendance. Invited speakers and industry panelists will include:

Thibaut Divoux, CNRS
Christian Franck, Brown University
Linda Hirst, UC Merced
Anand Oza, NJIT
Farshid Mostowfi, Schlumberger
Stephen Steiner, Aerogel Technologies
