Lyndon Koens started his academic career in physics, working on the dynamics of vortices and Bose-Einstein condensates. He completed his Master's degree at the University of Melbourne and then moved to the University of Cambridge for a PhD in 2012, focusing on the behavior of microscopic swimming objects in water, particularly those utilizing filamentous ribbon-like appendages. Following his PhD, he took a postdoctoral position at Cambridge, where he began working with experimental groups on the dynamics of microscopic devices. In 2018, he moved to Macquarie University to take up a lectureship. His research primarily explores the dynamics of microscopic objects in fluids, enhancing the understanding of bacterial swimming, colloids, and the dynamics of active matter. His work emphasizes how motion at small scales critically depends on object shape and interactions with neighbors, employing analytical approximations and numerical techniques to explore geometric effects in dynamics.
