Applied Mathematics (Fluid Dynamics, Mathematical Biology) Lab (Kenta Ishimoto)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses mathematics to understand the motion, form, and flow of living things.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how tiny organisms swim, through mathematics.
From the standpoint of applied mathematics, the lab studies fluid dynamics and mathematical biology.
In particular, it investigates the swimming motion of microorganisms and cells, the fluid dynamics of low Reynolds number flow, and active matter.
A major pillar of its research is using mathematical methods to uncover a wide range of biological phenomena.
Recently, the lab has also been working on the analysis of biological image data and on building mathematical models based on data.
Key terms
- Low Reynolds number flow
- Flow in which viscous effects are stronger than inertia. The flow around very small objects such as microorganisms is an example.
- Active matter
- Matter made up of many particles or cells that move by using energy of their own.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the mathematical structure of the motion, form, and flow that appear in fluid phenomena and biological phenomena. Using mathematical methods to uncover diverse biological phenomena is also a pillar of its research.
