Contamination dynamics of active rods in long microchannels
Jason Palos, Chase Brown, Mykhailo Potomkin +1
Active rods are elongated, self-propelled particles that serve as effective models for motile microorganisms, such as bacteria and sperm cells. When confined to a microfluidic chan…

Boundary accumulations of active rods in microchannels with elliptical cross-section
Chase Brown, Mykhailo Potomkin, Shawn Ryan
Many motile microorganisms and bio-mimetic micro-particles have been successfully modeled as active rods - elongated bodies capable of self-propulsion. A hallmark of active rod dyn…

Motor protein transport along inhomogeneous microtubules
Shawn D. Ryan, Zachary McCarthy, Mykhailo Potomkin
Many cellular processes rely on the cell's ability to transport material to and from the nucleus. Networks consisting of many microtubules and actin filaments are key to this trans…
