Bachelor theses projects in living matter physics

We have several Bachelor's projects available, and encourage motivated students to contact us at any time. Research in our department covers a wide range of topics centred on the physics of living and active matter.

Our team is highly interdisciplinary and international. We use theoretical frameworks and analytical tools from non-equilibrium statistical physics, hydrodynamics and complex/dynamical systems to understand and predict the behaviour of active systems on vastly different scales.

Depending on the application, the work in our department ranges from pen-and-paper analytical calculations to high-performance numerical simulations to analysis of experimental data generated by collaborators.

Recommended background (Bachelor)

  • Solid background in B.Sc.-level theoretical physics, with an emphasis on mechanics and statistical physics
  • Interest to venture beyond “ordinary” systems taught in undergraduate physics
  • Experience/interest in scientific computing

If you are interested in doing cutting-edge active-matter research, then write to golestanian-office@ds.mpg.de or contact the group leaders directly, who are also happy to informally answer any questions you might have.
