International Workshop on active matter at the Max Planck Institute for the Physcs of Complex Systems
From 24 to 28 April, international researchers at differen career stages - from students to professors - will meet at the Max Planck Institute for the Physcs of Complex Systems in Dresden and discuss the latest developments during the workshop "New Perspectives in Active Systems", organized by Professors Christian Huepe (Northwestern University, Chicago) and Fernando Peruani (CY Cergy Paris Université).
Active Matter is a branch of physics that aims to develop a non-equilibrium statistical mechanics of living systems and sheds light on highly relevant and diverse topics such as bacterial infections, cancer growth, tissue formation, and embryogenesis, as well as on the design and synthesis of biomimetic materials, which are likely to play a fundamental role in medicine in the coming years. The latest developments in this field will be at the core of the upcoming workhop on "New Perspectives in Active Systems". In a large extent, active matter evolved from theoretical considerations before experiments were available. When experimental data became available, it was assumed that it had to be consistent with the existing theories. However, the empirical data can be explained with alternative hypothesis/theories. The goal of the workshop is to gather researchers worldwide working on those alternative hypothesis/theories.
