The Raayai laboratory’s focus was on investigating the response of fluid flow to complex geometric boundaries such as textured surfaces and arrays of objects. Inspired by natural cases like ribs on shark scales and flight formation in pelicans, at the...
During their time at the Rowland Institute the Rayshubskiy lab worked at the interface between neuro-engineering and neurobiology using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model system: (1) They developed the fruit fly as a micro-robotics...
The Feldmann Lab studies the next generation of functional materials needed for a more sustainable global energy production and consumption. For this, we explore the concept of symmetry breaking in novel soft semiconductors and nanomaterials to control...
We study gene transfer agents (GTAs), a widespread but poorly understood mechanism of horizontal gene transfer. GTAs are bacterial-encoded virus-like entities that package random sections of the host genome for horizontal transfer to other cells in the...
While at the Rowland Institute, the El Baggari lab sought to understand and manipulate the properties of quantum materials, a broad class of compounds that exhibit superb electronic, magnetic and structural properties tied to the quantum-mechanical nature...
While at the Rowland the Reece Lab was focused on utilising transient pressure pulses and kinetic modelling in order to understand the fundamental concepts that drive catalytic reactions on surfaces. The goal of their lab was to break down chemical...
At the Rowland, the Hunter Lab was focused on the development of molecules and materials which can electrochemically and sustainably convert earth-abundant feedstocks to value-added chemicals and fuels.
The Owens laboratory studies how organisms and ecosystems cope with anthropogenic light pollution. We are particularly interested in the ecological costs and evolutionary history of flight-to-light behavior (positive phototaxis), most famously exhibited...
