Adam Gargasson's article on the chemotaxis of E. coli in fluid and on surfaces is accepted in Lab on a Chip. Happy to have contributed to this nice project!

Our article on the collective transport of large particles with microalgae is now published in Small! Jointly carried out with Taha Laroussi in LadHyX, this work shows some promising insights for depollution using microorganisms.

Victoria Nicolazo-Crach, PhD student in Université Paris-Saclay, will join us for a couple of months in June/July 2026 thanks to a Visiting PhD Fellowship. Looking forward to hosting her in Exeter!

Our article on the erosion-based homogenisation of microfluidic networks is now out in Physical Review X! It was the fruit of a great collaboration with Swarnavo Basu from Karen Alim's group in Munich, while I was working in LadHyX with Gabriel Amselem.

Angéline Girard is starting her PhD in Exeter, after being awarded a joint studentship between the University of Exeter and Université Paris-Saclay. She will work on the motility of excavates in complex environments. Happy to be her co-supervisor alongside Kirsty Wan in LSI and Harold Auradou in FAST!

I am delighted to join Kirsty Wan's group in the Living Systems Institute in Exeter, in the South-West of the UK! I will be investigating the behaviour of unicellular eukaryotes such as excavates and diatoms.
