As a co-first author, I'm thrilled to share our latest study on understanding the mechanics behind (dis)entanglement of blackworms. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to defining the rules of entangled animal collectives! @BhamlaLab

Thrilled to share that our latest research, "Flotation of Aquatic Worms and Other Hyponeuston", is now published on Interface Focus— and we landed the cover art! 🪱

This project was a collaborative dive into how blackworms and other organisms navigate the air-water interface.

Honored our team won the 2025 IEEE ICRA Best Paper in Mechanisms & Design!
The award was given “for using soft robot worm blobs to elucidate entanglement-mediated coordination, providing a novel test bed for studying emergent behavior in active matter systems.” #entangledmatter

[Harry @TuazonHarry]

🚨 BEST PAPER FINALIST 🚨

Our work on entangled worm blobs is a finalist at #ICRA2025! 🌟

We combined concepts from living worm blobs and soft robotics to study collective behaviors driven by physical entanglement.

Thrilled to share that I’m joining the 2025 DARPA Innovation Fellows, becoming the first Georgia Tech PhD to earn this honor! Excited to build on my work in entangled matter & bioengineering, driving high-risk, high-reward ideas with @DARPA "Department of Mad Scientists!"

[Harry @TuazonHarry]

Excited to share that I passed my PhD defense with flying colors! 🎉 It’s official—Dr. Tuazon here! Huge thanks to everyone who supported me along the way. Onward to new adventures!

I'm excited to share that I'll be defending my PhD dissertation! 🎓 My research dives into “worm blobs”—tangled structures that adapt to changing environments, escape predators, and float together using surface tension ("worm buoy"). Curious? Send a DM for the Zoom link!

Possibly the most metal story I ever reported for @newscientist, about the gruesome way leeches attack blackworms named "spiral entombment" https://t.co/QSLwxHLvqf

Thank you Andreas Bausch (@BauschLab), @BhamlaLab @AntoineDeblais and Sara Jabbari for bringing together scientists from Active polymers, filaments and robotics background. It was fun week with enriching talks and group works! @lorentzcenter @MicroRobotLab @SantAnnaPisa

[Harry @TuazonHarry]

Had the great opportunity for being invited to present my experimental work to active polymer physicists in the Netherlands!

I'm glad my worm photography was used for their advertisement poster too 😁
