Miss Jocelyn Dunstan

 

Career

• 2011- date: Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge

• 2008-2010: M.S. Physics (Hons), Universidad de Chile

• 2004-2007: S.B. Physics, Universidad de Chile

Research

• One of my PhD projects, under the supervision of Ray Goldstein, is to understand the inversion process in Volvox carteri as a mechanical process (theory and experiments). 

• Secondly, I'm working in the fluid motion generated by a suspension of bioluminescent bacteria, and the role of oxygen consumption (theory and experiments).

• Finally, I'm still working in simple models of bacteria swimming at low Reynolds number (with Rodrigo Soto from Chile) (theory).
