[6/30] The 42nd “AIMR Tea Time Talk”

06/21/2023

Speaker

Dr. Douglas Brumley
(The University of Melbourne, Australia)

Title

The role of fluid dynamics in microbial ecology

Date

June 30 (Fri.), 2023 16:00-17:00 on Japan Time

Venue

Seminar Room, 2nd floor, AIMR Main Bldg.

Abstract

Bacterial motility, symbioses, and marine nutrient cycling unfold at the scale of individual microbes, and are inherently dynamic. In this talk, I will discuss the role that fluid flows play in shaping the ecology of microbes, both in the open ocean as well as around coral surfaces. In each case, I will demonstrate how iteratively combining video-microscopy, image processing and mathematical modelling can resolve features of microbial lifestyles that are difficult or impossible to see otherwise, and show how single-cell measurements can be connected to bulk processes at the population-level.

About Tea Time Talk

AIMR’s Tea Time Talk is a kind of seminar aiming to promote exchange between world’s eminent researchers and young researchers at AIMR, held in a relaxed atmosphere at AIMR’s Friday Tea Time. The following researchers from around the world have given talks at this event so far, and participants have enjoyed discussion over a cup of tea.
