Topics und methods of the statistical mechanics of soft matter and biological systems
In the seminar we present the variety of topics and methods, which we work on and use in our working group.
The topics range from active motion and microswimmers, also in connection with reinforcement learning, the stohastic analysis in biology, to the hydrodynamics of Newtonian and complex fluids with applications to inertial microfluidics as well as viscoelastic fluids and their elastic turbulence.
In the talks the basics of the topcis and methods are worked out and illustrated using examples from current research. The talks can be combined with work on a well-defined project.
