Collective dynamics of active matter
This course provides an overview of active matter, an interdisciplinary field focused on systems composed of self-propelled particles. Including basic concepts, stochastic and macroscopic descriptions, emphasizing the interactions between active particles and their collective dynamics. The course explores the relation between microscopic rules and macroscopic equations, such as the Fokker-Planck equation, to understand phase transitions and emergent behaviors in active systems. It also covers data-driven approaches for discovering these behaviors and inferring interaction laws, alongside computational modeling techniques.
