Title
Structures in active matter
Abstract
Active matter systems are out of equilibrium systems made of particles that locally consume energy into motion such as flocks of birds and schools of fish. In this talk, I will discuss the emergence of structure and order in active matter systems and methods for quantifying them. I will present our recent work on models of self-propelled colloids, specifically mixtures of fast and slow active particles, as well as, models of swimmers in fluids that interact via hydrodynamics.
