The glycocalyx coating the outside of most cells is a polymer meshwork comprising proteins
and complex sugar chains called glycans. From a physical perspective, the glycocalyx has …

In this review article, we focus on collective motion in externally driven colloidal
suspensions, as well as how these collective effects can be harnessed for use in microfluidic …

We studied the evaporation-induced formation of supraparticles from dispersions of
elongated colloidal particles using experiments and computer simulations. Aqueous …

During cell division, the microtubule nucleating and organizing organelle, known as the
centrosome, is a critical component of the mitotic spindle. In cells with two centrosomes …

We present a computational study of the equilibrium dynamics of a polydisperse hard-
sphere colloidal dispersion confined in a spherical cavity. We account for many-body …

Several recent experiments investigate the orientational and transport behavior of self-
driven bacteria and colloidal particles in nematic liquid crystals. Correspondingly, we study …

Semiflexible polymers are ubiquitous in biological systems, eg, as building blocks of the
cytoskeleton, and they also play an important role in various materials due to their ability to …

One of the ultimate goals of science is an understanding of biological cells so complete that
one can construct a living cell from its constituent molecules, control its dynamics, and repair …

Non-colloidal dynamics of a single particle suspended in a low-Reynolds-number fluid
under spherical confinement was studied numerically. We calculated hydrodynamic …

We develop efficient numerical methods for performing many-body Brownian dynamics
simulations of a recently observed fingering instability in an active suspension of colloidal …
