Arnold JTM Mathijssen is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in Biophysics, Soft Matter, Fluid Mechanics, and Statistical Physics. His research explores the dynamics of micro-organisms and active matter, focusing on hydrodynamic interactions, collective behavior, and transport mechanisms. He investigates phenomena such as micro-swimmer dynamics, surface rheotaxis, and the role of hydrodynamic trigger waves in intercellular communication. His work also extends to applications in food science and biomedical transport, including nutrient diffusion and microfluidic systems. By combining theoretical and computational approaches, Mathijssen contributes to understanding complex fluid-structure interactions at the microscale.
