Patches of catalyst imprinted on supporting walls induce motion of the fluid around them once they are supplied with the chemical species (``fuel'') that are converted by the catalytic chemical reaction. While the functioning of such chemically activ

Many biological microswimmers are capable of chemotaxis, i.e., they can sense an ambient chemical gradient and adjust their mechanism of motility to move towards or away from the source of the gradient. Synthetic active colloids endowed with chemotac

The "squirmer model" is a classical hydrodynamic model for the motion of interfacially-driven microswimmers, such as self-phoretic colloids or volvocine green algae. To date, most studies using the squirmer model have considered spherical particles w

Comprehensive understanding of particle motion in microfluidic devices is essential to unlock novel technologies for shape-based separation and sorting of microparticles like microplastics, cells and crystal polymorphs. Such particles interact hydrod

Surface bound catalytic chemical reactions self-propel chemically active Janus particles. In the vicinity of boundaries, these particles exhibit rich behavior, such as the occurrence of wall-bound steady states of "sliding". Most active particles ten

We study, by means of an exact analytical solution, the motion of a spheroidal, axisymmetric squirmer in an unbounded fluid, as well as the low Reynolds number hydrodynamic flow associated to it. In contrast to the case of a spherical squirmer --- fo

We combine theory, numerical calculations, and experiments to accurately predict the motion of anisotropic particles in shallow microfluidic channels, in which the particles are strongly confined in the vertical direction. We formulate an effective q

For natural microswimmers, the interplay of swimming activity and external flow can promote robust motion, e.g. propulsion against ("upstream rheotaxis") or perpendicular to the direction of flow. These effects are generally attributed to their compl
