Dr. Yilin WU
Department of Physics
The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Biography
- Research interest in the physics of living matter, a field lying at the interface of physics and biology
- Current research focuses on spatial-temporal order in bacterial systems
- Past work advanced the understanding of collective motion and self-organization in bacterial communities
- RFS project — to study the self-organization of bacterial active matter in viscoelastic environments, with a vision to ultimately enable a new paradigm in non-equilibrium physics and active matter engineering
- Awards and Honours:
- RGC Research Fellow (2020)
Project Title
- Self-organization of Bacterial Active Matter in Viscoelastic Fluids and Gels
