Lecturer
Management of Complex Systems
I am Pooja Chopra, a lecturer at UC Merced with a Ph.D. in experimental Biophysics. My research focuses on the geometric effects in bacterial transport, specifically how size and structural geometry influence bacterial movement in fluid environments. This interdisciplinary work bridges physics and biology, applying mathematical and physical principles to understand real-world biological processes. With over 10 years of teaching experience, I am passionate about fostering dynamic, inclusive learning environments where students can engage with complex scientific concepts. I look forward to contributing to the academic community and mentoring future scientists at UC Merced.
