Biography

George is an applied mathematician specializing in combining mathematical modeling and experimentation to understand the underlying physical processes driving phenomena in complex systems. His research focuses on understanding the physical processes essential to tackling a wide range of environmental and industrial challenges, including the transport of debris by ciliary carpets and the spread of bacterial biofilms for the decontamination of hazardous materials. George has a particular focus on biological systems, specifically ciliary flows in sinuses and bacterial biofilms exhibiting collective behavior. His innovative methodology aims for a holistic approach, developing both theoretical and experimental capabilities. Theoretically, he seeks to develop reduced mathematical models using a variety of mathematical techniques. Experimentally, his work arises from collaborations with experimentalists, incorporating both tabletop laboratory and field experiments.
