Active matter is a novel class of driven nonequilibrium systems wherein a many-body system with an energy throughput consumes and dissipates energy at the level of the individual units. This field has grown in prominence in the last couple of decades with immense applicability in diverse areas such as granular and glassy systems, control theory, and biological systems. Many biologically crucial processes, such as the dynamics in the cellular cytoskeleton, the collective motion of cells, the progression of cancer, and the large-scale migratory behavior of bird flocks, mammal herds, ants, and fish schools have been modeled within the active matter framework.The meeting will feature research talks that will discuss recent progress in the field. Additionally, several pedagogical talks will provide a broad overview for young researchers in the country and help develop an appreciation for the significant new developments. The meeting will provide ample opportunities for young researchers to ...
