In 1952, Alan Turing proposed that simple chemical reactions + diffusion could create spots, stripes, and spirals in nature. 70 years later, we're still finding his equations everywhere—from zebrafish stripes to cardiac arrhythmias. Math predicting biology at its finest.

Hello, my name is Otti and I am a lecturer at Newcastle university (UK). My research is in the #biophysics and #mathbiology of #microbes (#mathmodelling & #experiment). I have a particular interest in swimming microalgae and bacteria (#microswimmers) with application to sustainable #biotechnology. I have also worked on algal-bacterial #mutualisms between #soil species. I teach #mathematics to #engineering students, and am interested in #maths, #physics and #science #education and #outreach.
