Microbial habitats are frequently characterized by fluid flow and shear. In Dr. Lee’s laboratory, we explore the intricate dynamics of microbe-fluid interactions across diverse environments ranging from natural, engineering, and clinical systems. Using cutting-edge tools such as microfluidics (Lab-on-a-chip), confocal laser scanning microscopy, and numerical simulations, we aim to enhance our fundamental understanding of microbe-fluid interactions. Moreover, we are interested in translating these insights into practical solutions by developing innovative biotechnologies (e.g., bioremediation, anti-biofilm tech), demonstrated at larger scales.
