Amelia Keynton is a PhD student (co-supervised by Prof. Michelle Watt, Dr. Vicky Waymouth and Prof. Berit Ebert). Her research investigates the role of organelle trafficking and plant cell wall composition in root-microbe interactions using Arabidopsis thaliana.
Rodney is a PhD student at the University of Melbourne’s School of Mathematics and Statistics. His research centres around using analytical and numerical methods to model microbial motility, chemotaxis, symbiosis, and porous-type flows.
Nitay is a PhD student at the School of Mathematics and Statistics. His research is on non-continuum flows, exhibited by gases in microstructures and electrons in high-mobility electronic devices.
Tristan is a Masters student (co-supervised with Dr. Edward Hinton) at the School of Mathematics and Statistics. He is using numerical methods to model diffusion in interfacial flows, paying particular attention to the Saffman-Taylor instability.
Peijing is a PhD student who is co-supervised by Dr. Jesse Collis at the School of Mathematics and Statistics. Her research is on the behaviours of small solid particles in an acoustic field and the associated steady flows arising from the time-harmonic wave motions.
Allison Mertin is PhD student (co-supervised with Prof. Linda Blackall and the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney). Her research focusses on characterisation of the seed microbiome of Australian native plants; microbe-plant and microbe-microbe interactions and chemotaxis.
Antony Selvan is a PhD student whose research focuses on mathematical modelling of ciliary flows around coral surfaces, examining the effects on mass transport and bacterial motility.
Dr Vicky Waymouth is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working on an interdisciplinary ARC Discovery Project (co-supervised with Prof. Michelle Watt). Her work focuses on modelling microorganism interactions in the rhizosphere using fabricated ecosystems and microfluidic devices.
Dr Pranali Deore is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Mary Lugton Fellowship) working in areas of marine microbial symbiosis. She uses expansion microscopy, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy and microfluidics to visualise the association between coral harbouring microalgae (Symbiodiniaceae) and bacteria.
Dr. Douglas Brumley is an Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics and leads an interdisciplinary research group at the interface of mathematics, biophysics and microbial Ecology. The Brumley lab utilises mathematics, microfluidics and microscopy to study a range of dynamic processes in biology including bacterial motility, symbioses, nutrient cycling and flows around coral reefs.
