Computational modeling of bacterial dynamics
A biofilm is a colony of bacteria, which develops over time and has interest in various fields ranging from calcite precipitation in rocks, plaque formation in teeth and manifestation of infections. The project involves application of computational models to study aspects of bacterial dynamics.
A biofilm is a colony of bacteria, which develops over time and has interest in various fields ranging from calcite precipitation in rocks, plaque formation in teeth and manifestation of infections. The life cycle of bacteria, their growth and replication as well as their behavior that results in sticking to- and release from- surfaces can be efficiently studied using computational models.
The project, which can be taken as an internship or a thesis project will involve application of molecular dynamics (MD) and lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to study behavior of bacteria. Excellent computational resources in the University of Stuttgart will be available for advanced simulations.

The goal of the project is to develop a model capable of simulating adherence behavior of bacteria around obstacles and validate results against those from Microbiology literature.
