Title: A Journey Through Active Matter
Date: 29th November 2018 at 4pm
Venue: Faculty Hall, Main Building
ABSTRACT
Materials whose individual constituents consume free energy and move autonomously as a result are known as Active Matter. The living state serves as both inspiration and pre-eminent example. My talk will summarise recent work with colleagues and students on the organising principles, phase transitions, and surprises in the statistics and dynamics of active systems.
