    Cristián Huepe: Phases and Self-organization In Active Elastic Systems

    McCormick-Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics (ESAM)

    11:15 AM M416, Technological Institute

    EVENT DETAILS

    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.

    **Please note, this event will be held in-person, as well as online via Zoom at the following link: https://northwestern.zoom.us/j/97531997339.

    Special Note: This colloquium is on Tuesday 11:15am, the new regular time for the applied math colloquium.
