PhD Position - Active Matter and Machine Learning
In the Institute for Advanced Simulation - Theoretical Physics of Living Matter (IAS-2), we employ theory, modeling, and simulation to study and understand the structure, self-assembly, and dynamics of complex fluids, active soft matter, and living matter - on the basis of physical principles.
We focus on non-equilibrium systems, where internal activity and/or external driving forces maintain the system away from thermal equilibrium, leading to complex structure formation, dynamics, and flow behavior. Examples include collective behavior of self‑propelled objects, the flow behavior of biofluids, cellular and tissue organization.
Your Job
The field of active matter is represented by systems made up of individual units that consume energy to generate motion or mechanical forces, causing the system to organize and behave collectively. The energy is continuously injected at the level of the individual particles or agents, keeping the system out of equilibrium.
Examples of active matter include bacterial colonies, cytoskeleton formed by filaments and driven by molecular motors, motile cells in a tissue, self‑propelled particles and their collectives.
Even though the complexity and diverse properties of active systems make their investigation very challenging, active matter research presents great opportunities for finding novel physic
