Naveen Sinha's profile
What I do
I’m currently working with Prof. Brenner in Applied Math to study how highly organized colonies of bacteria, known as biofilms, grow. These biofilms are all over the place: on the surface of ships, inside pipes, on the surfaces of your teeth, and even in your intestines.

Interests
So far I have explored acoustics, flow cytometry, scanning probe microscopy, anti-Brownian electrophoretic trapping, and single-molecular physical biology through various science fair projects, undergraduate research projects, and a one-year job in Singapore. Although physics is a common theme, I have yet to narrow down my interests.
Outside of lab, I love to run, cook, and exploring the gastronomical and cultural opportunities of Boston.
Projects
In my current project, I am studying how biofilms develop towers that send out spores to form new colonies. Using time-lapse photography and image analysis, I plan to quantitatively understand how these structures form.
Since it’s my first year in grad school, I’m taking classes in Fluid Mechanics, Physical Mathematics, and Soft Matter.
Besides classes and research, I’m helping Prof. Howard Stone with his Holiday Lecture about the Science of Chocolate, assisting with Science in the News, and planning to study the soft condensed matter aspects of chocolate, among other things.
