OverviewAI-generated summary
Sam Mortenson, a graduate student at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, investigates the motility and behavior of bacteria in various micro-environments. Their research has focused on *Escherichia coli* (*E. coli*), particularly its flagellar dynamics within polymeric hydrogels and its movement in aqueous environments containing natural soil particles. This work explores how factors such as particle size and entanglement influence bacterial locomotion.
Mortenson's scholarship metrics indicate a developing research profile, with 2 publications and 2 citations, and an h-index of 1. They have collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas, including Diksha Shrestha, Wen Zhang, Mary C. Savin, and Yong Wang, contributing to multiple shared publications.
