Probing the Dynamics of Chemically Active Polymers Using Multi-Particle by Snigdha Thakur

Explore the dynamics of chemically active polymers through multi-particle analysis in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into advanced concepts presented by Snigdha Thakur at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences as part of the "Active Matter in Complex Environments" program. Gain insights into the behavior of active matter systems operating in complex environments, such as soils, oceans, and the human body. Learn about the latest experimental methods, including novel microscopy tools and tailored microfluidic devices, used to study active materials in controlled, complex surroundings. Discover how these systems convert energy from their surroundings into directed motion and how environmental heterogeneities affect their individual swim gait, transport behavior, and collective phenomena. Benefit from a pedagogical introduction to the field and an overview of state-of-the-art experimental, theoretical, and engineering approaches in this exciting research area.
