Statistical Physics of Active Matter - Lecture 1 by Sriram Ramaswamy

Delve into the fascinating world of active matter in this comprehensive lecture, the first in a series on statistical physics of active matter. Explore fundamental concepts and cutting-edge research as part of the Bangalore School on Statistical Physics VIII. Gain insights from renowned expert Sriram Ramaswamy of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, as he introduces this rapidly evolving field. Designed for Ph.D. students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty members, this advanced-level course bridges the gap between masters-level studies and current research frontiers in statistical physics. Engage with a curriculum that covers critical dynamics, quantum system thermalization, non-equilibrium statistical physics, conformal field theory, and macroscopic fluctuation theory. Join fellow researchers at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences in Bengaluru for an immersive learning experience that will expand your understanding of active matter and its statistical physics implications.
