Do bacteria move faster in viscous media?

Jan 2020–March 2021

  • Performed image processing to track bacteria E. Coli in various viscous polymer fluids to study swimmer behavior. 

  • Controlled bacteria motility via magnetic field using magnetic beads tagged to the bacteria flagella

  • Imaged virus in microscopy with 100x + 1.5x zoom

Can virus be imaged in a microscope?

Jan 2020–March 2021

  • Performed imaging of knocked out COVID gene virus in 100x+1.5 x Fluorescent microscopy.

  • Counted virus using Nikon particle tracker. 

  • Found to be near impossible to image virus and track.
