Laurence Wilson

Laurence Wilson is Senior Lecturer in Biophysics at the University of York, leading research in microscopy techniques for studying microorganisms. His laboratory develops high-speed digital holographic microscopy and computational scattering methods to investigate propulsion mechanisms in bacteria and algae.

Research highlights include:

• Flagellar dynamics in pathogenic bacteria
• Collective behavior in microbial systems
• Robotic astrobiology instrumentation
• Machine learning-enhanced microscopy

Teaching includes undergraduate courses in Heat and Matter, LabVIEW programming, and graduate supervision in experimental biophysics.
