On the General Analytical Solution of the Kinematic Cosserat Equations [PDF]
, 2016 Based on a Lie symmetry analysis, we construct a closed form solution to the kinematic part of the (partial differential) Cosserat equations describing the mechanical behavior of elastic rods.

Microswimmers near corrugated, periodic surfaces
Soft Matter, 2021 We derive an analytical theory for the hydrodynamic interactions between microswimmers and corrugated surfaces and study the impact of a periodic surface on the velocities of active agents.

Taxis of Artificial Swimmers in a Spatio-Temporally Modulated Activation Medium [PDF]
, 2017 Contrary to microbial taxis, where a tactic response to external stimuli is controlled by complex chemical pathways acting like sensor-actuator loops, taxis of artificial microswimmers is a purely stochastic effect associated with a non-uniform ...

Rheotaxis and migration of an unsteady microswimmer
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 Rheotaxis and migration of cells in a flow field have been investigated intensively owing to their importance in biology, physiology and engineering. In this study, first, we report our experiments showing that the microalgae Chlamydomonas can orient ...

Tunable pheromone interactions among microswimmers
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 Indirect interactions via shared memory deposited on the field (“field memory”) play an essential role in collective motions. Some motile species, such as ants and bacteria, use attractive pheromones to complete many tasks. Mimicking these kinds of collective behavior at the laboratory scale, we present a pheromone-based autonomous agent ...

Purcell magneto-elastic swimmer controlled by an external magnetic field [PDF]
, 2016 International audienceThis paper focuses on the mechanism of propulsion of a Purcell swimmer whose segments are magnetized and react to an external magnetic field applied into the fluid.

Random motion of a circle microswimmer in a random environment [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2020 We simulate the dynamics of a single circle microswimmer exploring a disordered array of fixed obstacles. The interplay of two different types of randomness, quenched disorder and stochastic noise, is investigated to unravel their impact on the transport

Phenotyping single-cell motility in microfluidic confinement
eLife, 2022 The movement trajectories of organisms serve as dynamic read-outs of their behaviour and physiology. For microorganisms this can be difficult to resolve due to their small size and fast movement.
