He tells that to characterize the motion of individual cells, Joachim combines 3d light sheet microscopy with machine learning. His research is funded by UiO:LifeScience’s ITOM project, which aims to improve stem cell derived organ representations. ITOM is a co-operation between the Department of Physics, RITMO, and the Hybrid Technology Hub.
Joachim is also a dedicated teacher and a fluid mechanician, and before joining Njord, he worked as a teacher in fluid mechanics at NMBU, and he conducted postdoctoral research at Stanford and at UCSB. Here, he used microfluidics to measure protein diffusion, he studied the dynamics of miscible droplets, and he described the drainage of the tear film that covers our eyes. Joachim is also excited about everyday flows in the kitchen, ‘Kitchen Flows’, which are hubs of curiosity driven research. Finally, Joachim has a Ph.D. in microfludics from Atle Jensens lab at the Dept. Mathematics here at UiO.
