Title: Adaptive locomotion in complex, changing environments

Jasmine Nirody is a Neubauer Family Assistant Professor of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago. Nirody is interested in how organisms sense and respond to mechanical cues from natural environments, which can be spatially complex and temporally dynamic. Nirody's recent work has focused on two broad systems, flagellated swimming in bacteria and walking in panarthopods.
