Research Opportunities
Research Assistant for Modeling Microorganism Swimming
Description:
We are looking for energetic undergraduate researchers to participate in the research on theoretical modeling of microalgae swimming. The project will explore the trajectories of swimming microalgaes and its surrounding flow field using reduced order models. The students will assist with performing simulations and analyze data using MATLAB.
Preferred Qualifications: Strong background in math and physics and notable experience in programming are required. Coursework in partial differential equations and fluid mechanics are desirable.
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Xin Yong
Academic Department: Mechanical Engineering
Classification: Volunteer
Position Availability:
- Summer
Level(s):
- Junior
Appropriate Major(s):
- Mechanical Engineering
- Math
- Physics
Minimum GPA (if applicable): 3.3
