Spatio-temporal control of the phase separation of chemically active immotile colloids
National Science Open, 2023 Understanding and controlling phase separation in nonequilibrium colloidal systems are of both fundamental and applied importance. In this article, we investigate the spatiotemporal control of phase separation in chemically active immotile colloids.

Colloids in two-dimensional active nematics: conformal cogs and controllable spontaneous rotation
New Journal of Physics, 2023 A major challenge in the study of active systems is to harness their non-equilibrium dynamics into useful work. We address this by showing how to design colloids with controllable spontaneous propulsion or rotation when immersed in active nematics.

Colloidal transport by active filaments [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2017 Enhanced colloidal transport beyond the limit imposed by diffusion is usually achieved through external fields. Here, we demonstrate the ballistic transport of a colloidal sphere using internal sources of energy provided by an attached active filament.

Quantifying the non-equilibrium activity of an active colloid [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2020 Active matter systems exhibit rich emergent behavior due to constant injection and dissipation of energy at the level of individual agents. We characterize the dissipation of single active colloids.

Active microrheology in a colloidal glass [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2016 We study the dynamics of a probe particle driven by a constant force through a colloidal glass of hard spheres. This nonequilibrium and anisotropic problem is investigated using a new implementation of the mode-coupling approximation with multiple relaxation channels and Langevin dynamics simulations.
