A stochastic model for bacteria-driven micro-swimmers

A Stochastic Optimization Model for Groundwater Management

A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management

Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...

Modelling, control and analysis for micro-swimmers

Swimming strategies at the microscopic scale involve different mechanisms to those at the human scale. At this scale, the flow is dominated by the viscosity effects of the water and becomes reversible. This feature, known as the scallop theorem needs to be circumvented in order to swim with strokes that produce a net motion of the swimmer. The talk proposes to give an overview of recent works o...

Mini and Micro Propulsion for Medical Swimmers

Mini and micro robots, which can swim in an underwater environment, have drawn widespread research interests because of their potential applicability to the medical or biological fields, including delivery and transportation of bio-materials and drugs, bio-sensing, and bio-surgery. This paper reviews the recent ideas and developments of these types of self-propelling devices, ranging from the m...
