Description:

Title: Phases and Self-organization In Active Elastic Systems

Speaker: Cristián Huepe, Professor, Northwestern University

Abstract: Despite significant recent research on active fluids and gases, there has been very limited work on understanding active elastic solids. This is starting to change with the introduction of new experiments and simulations of active agents interacting through elastic forces. These show that active elastic systems display unique phases and self-organization processes that are only beginning to be understood. In this talk, I will describe various experimental and numerical active-elastic systems, discussing their characteristic phases, transitions, and self-organizing dynamics.
