We are a passionate team of interdisciplinary scientists using cutting-edge tools from engineering and biology to advance knowledge and solutions to environmental challenges
In the Stocker lab, we spy on the lives of aquatic organisms. We specialise in the use of imaging to capture and quantify organismal behaviour, from microorganisms to fish, which we study by developing dedicated technology, including microfluidics.
Our Ecohydraulics Team has completed a study for the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) aimed at assessing the efficiency of fish…
How do microbes survive and thrive in heterogeneous environments where nutrient concentrations fluctuate in space and time? In collaboration with Martin Pilhofer’s group…
