Openings available to conduct research on unicellular swimmers within
the ERC Advanced Grant MicroMotility
https://people.sissa.it/~desimone/iWeb/ERC/Welcome.html
in Italy in Trieste (SISSA) and Livorno (Center for Sea Technologies and
Marine Robotics of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa).
Recent examples of our work on these topics are:
