Science / Technology - Colloquium

Olin Hall

I will discuss model problems inspired by the mechanics of swimming microorganisms. First we study the swimming velocity of a swimmer with prescribed stroke in a complex fluid. Then, inspired by the coordination of beating cilia, we present an experimental model for hydrodynamic synchronization.
