Talk by Associate Professor Maciej Lisicki
University of Warsaw
Microscale swimming describes the motion of small living organisms through a fluid. Elastohydrodynamics accounts for the coupling between fluids and soft solids. These two fields are closely related, as the elasticity of a swimming organism affects the fluid around it, and vice versa.
In his talk, Lisicki will discuss the various methods of microscale swimming, how these processes can be modeled using elastohydrodynamics, and the potential applications of this research [1].
