Yielding Behavior of Active Amorphous Solids by Srikanth Sastry

Explore the yielding behavior of active amorphous solids in this 30-minute conference talk by Srikanth Sastry. Delivered as part of the "Active Matter and Beyond" discussion meeting at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, delve into the fascinating world of active matter and its applications in various fields. Gain insights into the novel class of driven nonequilibrium systems where energy consumption and dissipation occur at the individual unit level. Discover how active matter principles apply to diverse areas such as granular and glassy systems, control theory, and biological processes including cellular cytoskeleton dynamics, collective cell motion, cancer progression, and large-scale migratory behavior of animals. Benefit from the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research in this growing field and its implications for understanding complex systems across multiple disciplines.
