Here you can listen to an interview with William Durham, Departmental Research Lecturer in Zoology at Oxford University. He received a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from MIT in 2012.  His research aims to resolve how the microscale physical environment shapes the ecology and evolution of microbial life.  More specifically, his group uses microfluidic experiments, quantitative image analysis, and mechanistic models to understand how microbes exploit the complex chemical and fluid dynamical landscapes found in their natural habitats.  Mack will join the Department of Physics at the University of Sheffield later this year as part of the Imagine: Imaging Life initiative.
