MARIA TATULEA-CODREAN
LYNDEN-BELL RESEARCH FELLOW IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS
I am a theoretician broadly interested in problems at the interface of mathematics, physics and biology. I currently hold the Lynden-Bell Research Fellowship in Mathematics at Clare College, Cambridge. My current research interests revolve around the themes of flows (flows around and in between filaments, flows in membranes), motors (in particular, bacterial flagellar motors) and oscillators (synchronization of coupled non-linear oscillators, and biological rhythms more broadly).
Previously, I was a postdoctoral research associate of Prof Jean-Francois Joanny at the Collège de France in Paris and carried out my doctoral studies in Prof Eric Lauga's group at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge. My doctoral work involved the use of mathematical modelling and numerical simulations to study the swimming of multi-flagellated bacteria such as the model organism Escherichia coli.
