🚨Fully funded PhD opportunity: Physics, biology & ecology of toxic dinoflagellate blooms 🦠.

Supervisory team from Newcastle university (main supervisors), the University of Stirling and Lancaster University.

Join us to investigate how swimming motility and the flexible utilisation of energy sources influence bloom formation, using experiment🔬and modelling ♾️. #microswimmers #plankton #biophysics #biology #ecology #ActiveMatter #PhD

#imaging Mastodon, I'm looking to fully control a FLIR grasshopper3 camera using a Mac or Linux machine. Do you have any advice on how to do this? For Mac there is the library libdc1394. Any good? Advice would be appreciated. If you're curious I use the camera to capture videos of swimming microbes at moderately high fps. #biophysics #microswimmers #quantitavebiology

Hello, my name is Otti and I am a lecturer at Newcastle university (UK). My research is in the #biophysics and #mathbiology of #microbes (#mathmodelling & #experiment). I have a particular interest in swimming microalgae and bacteria (#microswimmers) with application to sustainable #biotechnology. I have also worked on algal-bacterial #mutualisms between #soil species. I teach #mathematics to #engineering students, and am interested in #maths, #physics and #science #education and #outreach.
