Courses in the Summer Term 2020

Due to the special circumstances generated by the Covid19 epidemic, the courses this term will be tought online.

Lecture

Active Matter

Lectures: Ramin Golestanian, Jaime Agudo-Canalejo

Learning objectives:
The students will learn about the basic principles of the physics of active matter as
characterized via nonequilibrium statistical physics. Topics will include: physics of
micro-swimming, hydrodynamic coordination, continuum description of scalar active
matter and motility-induced phase separation, polar active matter and flocking, active
liquid crystals (e.g. nematics) and defects, phoretic active matter, activity in enzyme
suspensions, and active membranes.

Competences:
This course will give the students a good theoretical understanding of active matter and
enable them to follow the state-of-the-art research in the area of active matter.
