- Bacterial chemotaxis: chemotactic cell sorting, design of cell sorters (highly applicable to other chemotactic cells such as spermatozoa)
Salek, Carrara, et al., Nature Com. 2019
- Bacterial turbulence: collective dynamics, understanding of bacterial interaction and vortical structures
- Bacterial biofilms: biofilm response to local fluid flow changes, antibiotic susceptibility, control and eradicating
Salek et al., ABME, 2012; Salek et al., Biofouling, 2009
Microfluidics:
- Microtechnology: microfabrication, design and development of novel devices and platforms. Particular attention to design of new microfluidic devices to study transport at micro scale under well controlled environment conditions.
Fluid Mechanics:
- Fundamental perspectives in Fluid mechanics: unsteady hydrodynamics, vortex formation (both experimental and computational techniques).
- Biofluidics: flow recirculation, physiologically relevant fluid flows
- Computational Fluid Dynamics: flow simulation in complex geometries and optimization, biomedical devices
