Jasmine Nirody is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago. She holds a PhD in Biophysics from the University of California, Berkeley. Her research investigates the relationship between structure and function in adaptable biological systems in changing environments. Nirody's work spans both theoretical and experimental approaches to understand how organisms such as flagellated bacteria and panarthropods perceive and respond to mechanical stimuli. Her lab focuses on a wide range of questions, including the performance trade-offs related to adaptability and flexibility in biomechanical systems. She has published on various topics, including the swimming patterns of fungal zoospores and the coordination of locomotion in moths and other organisms in diverse habitats. Nirody is particularly interested in how sensory feedback influences locomotor strategies in varied environments, contributing to evolutionary adaptations over time.
