Efficiency of cargo towing by a microswimmer [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2008 We study the properties of an arbitrary microswimmer towing a passive load through a viscous liquid. The simple close-form expression for the dragging efficiency of a microswimmer dragging a distant load is found, and the approximation for finite mutual proximity is derived.

Microswimmers near surfaces [PDF]
, 2016 Both, in their natural environment and in a controlled experimental setup, microswimmers regularly interact with surfaces. These surfaces provide a steric boundary, both for the swimming motion and the hydrodynamic flow pattern.

Optimal navigation of microswimmers in complex and noisy environments
New Journal of Physics, 2022 We design new navigation strategies for travel time optimization of microscopic self-propelled particles in complex and noisy environments. In contrast to strategies relying on the results of optimal control theory or machine learning approaches ...
