Cooperation in binary mixtures of active colloids

The complex interactions underlying collective motion in biological systems give rise to emergent behaviors such as flocking, sorting, and cooperative transport. These dynamics often involve species with different motilities coordinating movement to optimize navigation and surviv...

Hierarchical Bayesian calibration of mesoscopic models for ultrasound contrast agents from force spectroscopy data

Ultrasound-guided drug and gene delivery (USDG) is a promising non-invasive approach for targeted therapeutic applications. Mechanical properties of encapsulated microbubbles (EMBs), which serve as contrast agents, affect their interactions with ultrasound and are, thus, critical...
