In situ mesoscale imaging of live biofilm dynamics using SALVI

Lead Institution

Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Xiao-Ying Yu

We seek to understand how the dynamics of nutrients, metabolites and metals influence microbial processes in biofilm systems. Our approach will use axenic or heterogeneous microbial communities to…

Investigating interactions and aggregate structures of boehmite particles toward understanding of bulk rheology

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Jaehun Chun

The aim of the proposed research is to understand unique particle interactions in tank waste relevant systems from chemical physics at solid-liquid interfaces, and to determine how those interactions…

Deciphering electron transfer in microbial communications by in situ chemical imaging

Lead Institution

Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Xiao-Ying Yu

We seek to understand how the dynamics of nutrients, metabolites, and solid surface influence microbial processes in the environment. Our overarching hypothesis is that biophysical and biochemical…

Revealing Bilgewater Emulsion Formation and Breaking by In Situ Multiplexed Chemical Imaging

Lead Institution

Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Xiao-Ying Yu

Bilgewater, an oil and grease mixture with water, may affect many aquatic species. Thus development of methods and techniques to treat (i.e., increase OWS availability, reduce cost) or to mitigate…
