About

Wan Cheng is a researcher in fluid dynamics and biophysics, with a focus on the locomotion of microorganisms and synthetic microscale robots in complex environments. Their work investigates how moving boundaries—such as vibrating walls or muscular contractions—influence the migration of microswimmers, a key factor in understanding biological transport and designing microrobotic systems. In their highly cited 2022 paper, "Influence of vibrating wall on microswimmer migration in a channel," Cheng combined numerical simulations and asymptotic analysis to reveal how oscillating boundaries alter swimmer trajectories, offering new insights into navigation in confined, dynamic spaces. Though early in their career, this work has already garnered 6 citations, signaling its relevance to the growing field of active matter and microfluidics. Cheng’s contributions bridge theoretical modeling and practical applications, from targeted drug delivery to environmental sensing. Their research stands out for its elegant integration of mathematical rigor with real-world biological and engineering challenges, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring the physics of life at small scales.
