The mathematics of active matter
A flock of birds, a shoal of fish, a swarm of robots, a colony of swimming bacteria; these are examples of systems composed of interacting units that consume energy and collectively generate motion and mechanical forces on their environment. T
Van Kampen's system-size expansion
The van Kampen's expansion is a systematic expansion of the master equation in powers of the system size (volume, number of particles). The leading order terms give deterministic equations which govern the evolution of infinite systems where
Diffusion on an expanding interval
The diffusion equation is used to model transport of particles, heat etc. and is usually solved in some fixed geometry e.g. on an interval in 1d, or inside a sphere in 3d. What happens if the domain is not static but changes over time? In this talk
Statistical Physics of Ecosystems
For more than 50 years now, ecologists have collected census data for several ecosystems around the world from diverse communities such as tropical forests, coral reefs, plankton, etc. However, despite the contrasting biological and environmental
Superradiance and the Dicke model
Quantum optics often focuses on the interaction between a small number of optical emitters and absorbers, and a small number of light modes. However it has long been known that "more is different", and that emission from a collection of optical
