معرفی
Jane Chui is a postdoctoral research associate and Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, University of Cambridge, affiliated with the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) within the School of Physical Sciences. Her interdisciplinary research bridges biology, physics, and engineering to explore biomechanics and fluid dynamics at the microscale.
- Education: Bachelor of Applied Sciences in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto, majoring in Energy and the Environment.
- Master of Science and PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from MIT, focusing on hydrodynamic instabilities and bacterial interactions.
Research Focus: Jane investigates the biomechanics of motility at the microscale, particularly the synchronization (or lack thereof) of cilia—hair-like structures critical for biological functions like mucus clearance in lungs and algae locomotion in oceans. Her work combines experimental fluid dynamics with biological systems to understand collective microorganism behavior and hydrodynamic interactions.
Academic Contributions: She actively mentors students across high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels, supervises research projects, and contributes to the organization of the Fluid Mechanics Seminar Series in collaboration with DAMTP, the UK Fluids Network, and the Journal of Fluid Mechanics.
