Offer Description
The postdoc will be responsible for designing an experimental setup to investigate how the polarisation properties of light influence microalgal movement. In particular, the system must allow for control over light polarisation to create two-dimensional patterns with spatially varying polarisation, while simultaneously recording the motion of the algae in order to analyse their trajectories and understand the influence of light on their behaviour.
