This conference talk explores the application of topological tools to quantify patterns in the Vicsek Model, presented by Anamika Roy at the 10th Indian Statistical Physics Community Meeting. Learn about innovative approaches to analyzing collective behavior in active matter systems through the lens of topology. The talk is part of a three-day discussion meeting organized by leading Indian physicists and hosted at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences in Bengaluru. The meeting brings together scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from across India working in statistical physics, covering topics from mathematical aspects and out-of-equilibrium systems to quantum fluids, disordered systems, biological physics, soft matter, nonlinear physics, and interdisciplinary complex systems. Discover cutting-edge research at this inclusive academic gathering that encourages participation from diverse backgrounds, especially women and other under-represented groups in physics.
