Multi-particle gates on driven one-dimensional paths: probing deep traps
arXiv preprint, under review at Physical Review E, 2026
Optical-tweezers experiments on how the motions of several microscopic particles become correlated as they are driven through deep traps.
Journal articles
Imprinting reversible deformations on compressed soft rods network
Soft Matter, 2024
Shows how buckling in networks of soft rods can store chosen three-dimensional shapes, reversibly.
Compression-controlled dynamic buckling in thin, soft sheets
Physical Review E, 2021
Experiments and numerical methods for controlling Euler–Bernoulli buckling of thin sheets at fast compression rates.
Recharging and rejuvenation of decontaminated N95 masks
Physics of Fluids, 2020
Shows how the electrostatic charge on mask fibres, which filtration efficiency depends on, can be restored after decontamination.
Molding three-dimensional curved structures by selective heating
Royal Society Open Science, 2020
Uses heat-induced buckling in pre-stretched sheets to make target three-dimensional shapes.
Thesis
