TBD between student and research mentor.) Overall Research Project Description: This research project focuses on modeling the social interaction of bacterial communities using agent-based modeling. Multi-species bacterial populations engage in cooperative social behavior in which some are involved in producing public goods and some just consume the public goods without contributing to their production. This social interaction between bacterial strains determines their population dynamics and survival. In this project, we will employ agent-based modeling techniques, using relevant softwares and packages, to simulate this behavior of bacterial communities. We will then explore the influence of population density, resource availability, and spatial structure on bacterial communities' ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Research Tasks: Literature review of relevant research studies, Mathematical modeling, Analysis and visualization of the simulations Skills that research assistant(s) may need:: Calculus, Some experience in coding, Passion for modeling biological systems, Basic knowledge of biology Mentoring Philosophy: I strongly believe a true mentorship is a two-way relationship between the mentor and the mentee. I work closely with the mentees to help them find their strength and recognize how to improve their research skills.
