Activity-controlled clogging and unclogging of microchannels
Physical Review Research, 2020 We propose a mechanism to control the formation of stable obstructions in two-dimensional microchannels of variable sections taking advantage of the peculiar clustering property of active systems.

Spiral Thermal Waves Generated by Self-Propelled Camphor Boats
Condensed Matter, 2020 Spiral thermal surface waves arising from self-propulsion of the camphor-driven objects are reported. Spiral thermal waves were registered for dissolution and evaporation-guided self-propulsion.

Encapsulation of fibrinogen and thrombin with calcium carbonate for hemorrhage control [PDF]
Biofunctional Materials, 2023 Hemorrhage remains the major cause of death in combat and civilian trauma, although significant advances in hemostatic agents and blood products have enhanced damage control resuscitation and reduced mortality. Currently, few hemostats are available for

Hydrodynamic Analysis of Self-Propulsion Performance of Wave-Driven Catamaran
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 The wave-driven catamaran is a small surface vehicle driven by ocean waves. It consists of a hull and hydrofoils, and has a multi-body dynamic structure.

Self-propulsion in 2D confinement: phoretic and hydrodynamic interactions [PDF]
The European Physical Journal E, 2021 Chemically active Janus particles generate tangential concentration gradients along their surface for self-propulsion. Although this is well studied in unbounded domains, the analysis in biologically relevant environments such as confinements is scarce. In this work, we study the motion of a Janus sphere in weak confinement.

Emergent organization and polarization due to active fluctuations
Physical Review Research, 2023 We introduce and study a model of active Brownian motion with multiplicative noise describing fluctuations in the self-propulsion or activity. We find that the standard picture of density accumulation in slow regions is qualitatively modified by active ...
