Acoustic trapping of active matter [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 AbstractConfinement of living microorganisms and self-propelled particles by an external trap provides a means of analysing the motion and behaviour of active systems. Developing a tweezer with a trapping radius large compared with the swimmers’ size and run length has been an experimental challenge, as standard optical traps are too weak.

A minimal spatial cell lineage model of epithelium: tissue stratification and multi-stability
New Journal of Physics, 2018 A minimal model which includes spatial and cell lineage dynamics for stratified epithelia is presented. The dependence of tissue steady state on cell differentiation models, cell proliferation rate, cell differentiation rate, and other parameters are ...

Active Matter Alters the Growth Dynamics of Coffee Rings
, 2018 How particles are deposited at the edge of evaporating droplets, i.e. the {\em coffee ring} effect, plays a crucial role in phenomena as diverse as thin-film deposition, self-assembly, and biofilm formation.

New Journal of Physics, 2017 We study the appearance and properties of cluster crystals (solids in which the unit cell is occupied by a cluster of particles) in a two-dimensional system of self-propelled active Brownian particles with repulsive interactions.

An Integrated Cytoskeletal Model of Neurite Outgrowth
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Neurite outgrowth underlies the wiring of the nervous system during development and regeneration. Despite a significant body of research, the underlying cytoskeletal mechanics of growth and guidance are not fully understood, and the relative ...

Dynamics of self-propelled particles passing a bottleneck
New Journal of Physics, 2020 We study the passage of active and passive granular particles through a bottleneck under gravitational bias. The grains are pharmaceutical capsules with spherocylindrical shapes on a vibrating table. The vibrating ground plate is slightly tilted in order

Destabilization of a flow focused suspension of magnetotactic bacteria
, 2016 Active matter is a new class of material, intrinsically out-of equilibrium with intriguing properties. So far, the recent upsurge of studies has mostly focused on the spontaneous behavior of these systems --in the absence of external constraints or ...

Vortex formation and dynamics of defects in active nematic shells
New Journal of Physics, 2017 We present a hydrodynamic model for a thin spherical shell of active nematic liquid crystal with an arbitrary configuration of defects. The active flows generated by defects in the director lead to the formation of stable vortices, analogous to those ...

Stochastic Stirling Engine Operating in Contact with Active Baths
Entropy, 2017 A Stirling engine made of a colloidal particle in contact with a nonequilibrium bath is considered and analyzed with the tools of stochastic energetics. We model the bath by non Gaussian persistent noise acting on the colloidal particle. Depending on the
