At FLOCK, we use a variety of computational models to study pattern formation in microorganisms. Many microorganisms, e.g. bacteria and cancer cells, display remarkable collective dynamics, being described as “living liquids”. Just like a regular liquid, the boundaries govern the dynamics of this living liquid. However, many relevant biological systems exist in pliable environments where this living liquid can simultaneously alter its soft surroundings, resulting in various fascinating behaviours, which we study using a variety of numerical tools.
During his PhD at the University of Edinburgh, Tim worked on developing algorithms for simulating active
nematic liquid crystals and characterising their behaviour. His current research focusses on advancing simulation tools for active fluids, with particular emphasis on passive and active solutes as well as complex boundaries. This work enables in-depth studies of biological mechanoreciprocity.
