Théorique, numérique
In addition to generating forces and reacting to mechanical cues, cells and tissues are capable of actively transporting fluids and of creating electric currents. The goal of this internship will be to explore these properties. Depending on the student skills and tastes, several directions could be considered: (i) a more numerical approach, to construct cell-based numerical models that include explicitly fluid transport, (ii) a more analytic approach, to develop coarse-grained, continuum models of tissues that include electrohydraulic properties.
