Biography

I am Richa Karmakar, PhD, currently working as Postdoctoral fellow in UCSD, San Diego, USA. I am currently working on the chemotactic behavior of Dictyostelium discoideum in microfluidics devices. I finished my PhD at 2015 from IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India and my topic was `Investigation of the sensing mechanism in Escherichia coli and its impact on the swimming behavior and their collective motion.`
