Modeling Bacterial Navigation in Complex Porous Environments: Chemotaxis and Quorum Sensing

Domaines
Biophysics
Physics of living systems
Hydrodynamics/Turbulence/Fluid mechanics

Type of internship
Théorique, numérique
Description
In this project, the student will develop numerical tools to model bacterial swimming and chemotaxis in complex porous environments, inspired by gut-like microstructures. The goal is to capture how local concentration gradients (possibly self-induced) and microstructure guide bacterial trajectories and collective accumulation.
