Gwynn Elfring is a researcher at the University of British Columbia, specializing in Fluid Mechanics, Complex Fluids, Soft Matter, and Active Matter. Her work explores the dynamics of microswimmers in complex fluids, including shear-thinning behavior, hydrodynamic interactions, and synchronization phenomena. She investigates the locomotion mechanisms of active particles and their responses to viscosity gradients, as well as the role of surface viscosity and Marangoni stresses in surfactant-laden interfaces. Her research also includes theoretical analyses of flagellar synchronization and the hydrodynamics of active swimmers in viscoelastic environments. Elfring's contributions span both fundamental theory and applied fluid dynamics, with a focus on understanding the interplay between fluid structure and active motion.
