Transport control in multi-species fluid suspensions

This Project aims to develop novel methods of controlling multi-species particles in fluid suspensions, such as microorganisms in wounds. Physical methods offer additional opportunities for wound healing in the era of increased microbial resistance to antibiotics. The Project will develop methods of controlling concentration of microorganisms, such as bacteria and cells, using wave-driven turbulent transport and active synthetic agents. New methods will also benefit applications in microfluidics, liquid metamaterials, micro-assembly and technologies for cleaning liquid surfaces. The project will advance our fundamental knowledge of particle interaction with matter waves.
