About

Emiliya Gutman is a leading researcher in the mathematical modeling of microswimming, a field critical to advancing biomedical microrobotics. Her work focuses on understanding how microscopic robots can be propelled through viscous fluids using external magnetic fields, a key challenge for targeted drug delivery and non-invasive surgery. Gutman’s most influential contribution is her 2014 paper, "Simple model of a planar undulating magnetic microswimmer," which has garnered 45 citations. In this work, she developed a straightforward theoretical framework for analyzing the motion of magnetic microswimmers, enabling researchers to optimize their design and performance without complex simulations. She further advanced the field with her 2015 study, "Symmetries and Gaits for Purcell's Three-Link Microswimmer Model" (37 citations), where she explored how periodic shape changes—known as gaits—can be systematically designed to produce net motion. By applying symmetry principles to Purcell’s classic three-link swimmer, Gutman provided a deeper understanding of locomotion strategies at low Reynolds numbers. Her work bridges theory and application, offering essential tools for engineers designing next-generation microswimmers.
