Microbial collective behavior, multicellularity and symbiosis

Thomas Day, PhD

Thomas is interested in how emergent biological phenomena can be driven by simple physical considerations. He studies the formation of spatially differentiated marine bacterial aggregates. He received his undergraduate degree from Lafayette College, where he ran Cross Country and Track & Field. He then attended the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he earned his PhD in the spring of 2023. In his free time, Thomas enjoys road biking, camping, and playing music.
