Spring 2020 – Unraveling the physics of Host-Invasion with 3D-Printed Bacteria

Project Leader: Tarek Dawamne
tdawamne@tamu.edu
Chemical Engineering
Faculty Mentor:
Dr. Pushkar Lele, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
TBD
Team Size:
5 (Team Full)
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
TBD
Team Needs: Interest and understanding of Fluid Dynamics and microbiology Ability to use SOLIDWORK Sophomores and Juniors
Description:
Using 3D modeling and printing, a motorized macro-cell that mimics bacterial motility has been designed. Experiments will be performed with the cell to test fundamental predictions from fluid mechanics. The project includes troubleshooting the cell design, experiments, and data analysis. The ultimate purpose is to explain how bacteria navigate complex environments to colonize niches.
