Self-organization of active rod suspensions on fluid membranes and thin viscous films
Arijit Mahapatra, Ronit Freeman, Ehssan Nazockdast
Many biological processes involve transport and organization of inclusions in thin fluid interfaces. A key aspect of these assemblies is the active dissipative stresses applied fro…
Using Activity to Compartmentalize Binary Mixtures
Nicholas J Lauersdorf, Ehssan Nazockdast, Daphne Klotsa
We computationally study suspensions of slow and fast active Brownian particles that have undergone motility induced phase separation and are at steady state. Such mixtures, of var…
Reciprocal theorem for linear poro-viscoelastic materials
Moslem Moradi, Wenzheng Shi, Ehssan Nazockdast
In studying the transport of particles and inclusions in multi-phase systems we are often interested in integrated quantities such as the total force and the net velocity of the pa…
General solutions of poroelastic equations with viscous stress
Moslem Moradi, Wenzheng Shi, Ehssan Nazockdast
Mechanical properties of cellular structures, including the cell cytoskeleton, are increasingly used as biomarkers for disease diagnosis and fundamental studies in cell biology. Re…
Dependence of phase behavior and surface tension on particle stiffness for active Brownian particles
Nicholas Lauersdorf, Thomas Kolb, Moslem Moradi +2
We study quasi two-dimensional, monodisperse systems of active Brownian particles (ABPs) for a range of activities, stiffnesses, and densities. We develop a microscopic, analytical…
Cell nucleus as a microrheological probe to study the rheology of the cytoskeleton
Moslem Moradi, Ehssan Nazockdast
Mechanical properties of the cell are important biomarkers for probing its architectural changes caused by cellular processes and/or pathologies. The development of microfluidic te…
Active microrheology of colloidal suspensions: simulation and microstructural theory
Ehssan Nazockdast, Jeffrey F. Morris
Accelerated Stokesian Dynamics (ASD) simulation and a microstructural theory are applied to study structure and the viscosity of hard-sphere Brownian suspensions in active microrhe…
