The focus of our research is to understand the physical mechanisms influencing bacterial surface colonization and biofilm formation in fluids. We use a combination of microfluidics and visualization techniques to access the microstructure and the rheology of bacterial systems, with the ultimate goal of linking their structure to their biological function.
June 2026 Our group is growing!We are delighted to welcome three new members, Vivian Liv Kempf, Oliver Weismantel and Giacomo Musile, to the bioMatter Microfluidics Group at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich.A special welcome to Vivian and Oliver, who have joined us as PhD students and will be working on our
