معرفی
Navish Wadhwa is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Arizona State University (ASU). He holds affiliations with the Biodesign Center for Mechanisms of Evolution and the Center for Biological Physics. His research focuses on the biophysical mechanisms underlying bacterial behavior, particularly how physical forces influence microbial systems. Wadhwa completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University and earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the Technical University of Denmark.
Education:
- Postdoc, Harvard University
- Ph.D. Physics, Technical University of Denmark
Research Interests: The Wadhwa lab investigates forces in biological systems, including bacterial motility, mechano-sensing, and flagellar motor dynamics. Techniques include biophysical experiments and theoretical modeling.
Recent Trends in Articles: Recent work explores propulsion mechanisms in bacteria, fluid dynamics of microbial movement, and structural biology of flagellar components. Key themes include mechano-adaptation in nanomachines and imaging innovations for high-resolution analysis.
Awards/Grants: Research supported by NIH, Arizona Biomedical Research Centre, and the Biological Integration Institute.
Advising & Labs: Advises graduate students like Farhad Javi and Shajeda Begum. Lab activities include studies on bacterial surface migration and nanomotor dynamics.
