RIBES Public Lecture - Fish in turbulent flow
As part of RIBES 2nd Network School, Christos Katopodis will give an online public lecture on the topic of "Fish in turbulent flow". The lecture wiil be given on 21 September at 18:00 (CEST) and is open for anyone interested upon registration.
Gloria Mozzi's RIBES story
Gloria Mozzi is a mechanical engineer and a hydrogeologist, and a RIBES early stage researcher hosted by Politecnico di Torino. Within RIBES she studies collective behaviour, particularly the school's structure and group swimming performances in different hydrodynamic environments. Here she writes about her background and current work.
My RIBES story: Jelger Elings
Jelger Elings is a biologist and a RIBES early stage researcher. He is hosted by the Ghent University and his project is focused on fish behaviour in the vicinity of hydropower installations and the accompanying fishways.. Here he writes about his background and current work.
My RIBES story: Miriam Castagna
Miriam Castagna is an environmental engineer and RIBES early stage researcher. She is hosted by the University of Aberdeen and her project aim is to explore and to advance knowledge about fish-flow interactions by visualization of the fluid velocity field surrounding a swimming fish. Here she writes about her background and current work.
My RIBES story: James Campbell
James Campbell is a biologist with a strong background in bioinformatics. As RIBES early stage researcher, he is exploring effects of artificial light on migrating fish. Here he writes about his background and his current project.
Alfredo Schiavon's RIBES story
Alfredo Schiavon is a biologist and an early stage researcher in the RIBES network. He is hosted by Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries and pursue a Phd at the Free University of Berlin. In his research, he wants to gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between biota and flow dynamics in rivers, and will focus on the hydrodynamics of fish habitats and their implications for fish behavior. Here he writes about his background, and his place in RIBES.
My RIBES story: Marcelo Ruiz
Marcelo Ruiz is a Civil Engineer, PhD student at University of Padova and an early stage researcher in the RIBES network. His work is focusing on the analysis of fish behavior driven by hydrodynamic variables at hydraulic structures. Here he writes about his background and and his place in RIBES.
Philip Ericssons RIBES story
Philip Ericsson is a PhD-student at University of Southampton and a RIBES Early Stage Researcher. His research project is focused on how fish behavior and physiology respond to varying acoustic and hydrodynamic conditions. Here he writes about his background, including work on fish in both United States and Sweden, and his current place in RIBES.
Usama Ashrafs RIBES story
Usama Ashraf is a PhD-student at Politecnico di Torino, and one of the early stage researchers in the RIBES network. He is an engineer working on fish kinematics to provide explanations and innovative solutions for the fish passage design zeroing in on upstream migrating freshwater fishes. Here he writes about how he ended up in the RIBES project and some of his place and plans within it.
Sophia Schumanns RIBES story
Sophia Schumann is a RIBES early stage researcher and a PhD-student at the University of Padova. In her research project, she will establish physiological indicators, which provide information about the stress response in riverine fish.
