🌟Congratulations to @AntonyAntonyRa4 for the
accolade . 🌟
Thanks @BrumleyLab, for their continued and inspiring collaboration.

[Douglas Brumley @BrumleyLab]

Congratulations to PhD student Antony Selvan, who won the Best Student Paper Prize at the 2024 Mathematical Biology Special Interest Group (MBSIG) workshop. @ANZIAMnews @MelbMathBio @SciMelb @UniMelb. Thanks to our great collaborators at @MCNDLab!

Congratulations to Antony for the first paper from his PhD. This work, published in @PhysRevFluids, employs a point torque (or “rotlet”) model to capture the time-averaged ciliary flow above a planar rigid wall. @UniMelb @SciMelb @MelbMathBio @MCNDLab
