MIPS near curved boundaries

Motility-induced phase separation in Active Brownian Particle systems confined to curved geometries. Investigating how boundary curvature shifts the critical Peñclet number for cluster formation and affects steady-state density profiles.
Status: in progress (PhD thesis chapter)

Active pressure in non-uniform swim-speed fields

Exploring the mechanical pressure exerted by ABPs on walls when self-propulsion speed varies spatially. Does an equation of state exist? (Spoiler: it's complicated.)
Status: manuscript in preparation

Code

abp-sim

GPU-accelerated 2D Active Brownian Particle simulator. Python + CUDA via CuPy. Handles ~106 particles at reasonable frame rates. MIT licensed.

mips-analysis

Analysis toolkit for MIPS simulations: cluster detection, density histograms, radial distribution functions, and some half-finished visualization scripts.
