This dissertation introduces novel computationally efficient PDE models, which are used to investigate the origin of self-organization in bacterial suspensions.

This thesis focuses on experimental studies on collective motion using swimming bacteria as model active-matter systems. It offers comprehensive reviews of stat

In this technical report we investigate efficient methods for numerical simulation of active suspensions. The prototypical system is a suspension of swimming ba

We present a study of the swimming dynamics of Escherichia coli bacteria in different physical conditions. Their 3D motion is assessed by means of a device for
