Scholar-generated biography
Roman Stocker is a researcher in fluid mechanics, microbial ecology, oceanography, and microfluidics. His work explores the ecological interactions between phytoplankton and bacteria, focusing on how microbial communities respond to environmental gradients and fluid dynamics. He investigates the role of microbial motility, chemotaxis, and nutrient patch dynamics in marine ecosystems. Stocker also examines bacterial transport under fluid shear and the impact of turbulence on microscale planktonic structures. His research includes single-cell genomics, microbial consortia, and the development of automated platforms for cell sorting. Key areas of focus include microbial ecology, fluid mechanics, and oceanographic processes.
