Active colloids on fluid interfaces
We review recent work on active colloids at interfaces, including self-propelled colloids that
move by generating a propulsive force, and driven colloids that move under external fields …

Gyrotactic cluster formation of bottom-heavy squirmers
Squirmers that are bottom-heavy experience a torque that aligns them along the vertical so
that they swim upwards. In a suspension of many squirmers, they also interact …
