Interacting with Active Particles
Active particles refer to out-of-equilibrium self-propulsive objects such as biological microswimmers and engineered colloidal particles that can form various fascinating collective states. Active particles are easy to observe experimentally but notoriously difficult to interact with due to their fast and stochastic dynamics at both single-particle and collective state levels. In this project, I aim at scientific breakthrough in both instrumentation that allows direct interaction with active particles and using the methodology to progress substantially our understanding of dynamics and phase transitions of active particles. The first part focuses on rendering active particles, including E.…
