Rectification of Twitching bacteria through narrow channels: A numerical simulations study
Konark Bisht, Rahul Marathe
Bacteria living on surfaces use different types of motility mechanisms to move on the surface in search of food or to form micro-colonies. Twitching is one such form of motility em…
Tailored Morphologies in 2D Ferronematic Wells
Konark Bisht, Yiwei Wang, Apala Majumdar +1
We focus on a dilute uniform suspension of magnetic nanoparticles in a nematic-filled micron-sized shallow well with tangent boundary conditions, as a paradigm system with two coup…
Magnetic Nanoparticles in a Nematic Channel: A One-Dimensional Study
Konark Bisht, Varsha Banerjee, Paul Milewski +1
We study a ferromagnetic suspension or a suspension of magnetic nanoparticles in an anisotropic nematic medium, in three different one-dimensional variational settings, ordered in…
Twitching Motility of Bacteria with Type IV Pili: Fractal Walks, First passage time and their Consequences on Microcolonies
Konark Bisht, Stefan Klumpp, Varsha Banerjee +1
A human pathogen, \textit{Neisseria gonorrhoeae} (NG), moves on surfaces by attaching and retracting polymeric structures called Type IV pili. The \textit{tug-of-war} between the p…
