This self-study is aimed to deepen the participant’s understanding of theoretical concepts and tools used in theoretical biophysics, that is the physical modelling of biological processes on the cellular and tissue level. The main focus of this year will be active matter and non-equilibrium statistical physics motivated by biological examples.
Students are expected to study on their own the agreed-upon textbook chapters – using as well recent extensive reviews of the field of active matter - and discuss them weekly within their group and bi-weekly together with the Instructor.
Target group: Early stage PhD students with a focus on theoretical bio- and soft matter physics.
Prerequisites: Equilibrium statistical physics, Calculus
Evaluation: Participation in meetings, discussions with Instructor
Teaching format: Self-study with weekly meetings of the students and consultations with Instructor.
