Modeling Escherichia coli Chemotaxis Using Parallel Programming
Title: Modeling Escherichia coli Chemotaxis Using Parallel Programming
Student: Lu Liu
Advisors: Dr. Mark Lewis and Dr. Hoa Nguyen
Abstract: This project seeks to run simulations for the the multi-scale model that couples the internal signaling pathway with the external cell motility to demonstrate E. coli 's chemotactic behavior in the fluid environment. To do so requires translating and re-programming the original code from MatLab to a different programming language with parallel options. This has enhanced the program with the ability to model up to 1000 cells or more.
