Devoloping a boundary integral method for 3D deformable drops with insulable surfactant. The discretization is based on a spherical harmonics expansion and focus on different aspects:

- Boundary integral formulation, for the Stokes flow with particular attention when dealing with singular and nearly singular integrals

- Fast and accurate reparametrization procedure

- IMEX (implicit-explicit) Runge-Kutta scheme for solving the advection-diffusion equation of the surfactant living on the surface of the deforming drops
