Title: Active Systems With External Perturbations

Speaker: Prof. Arnab Saha, Savitribhai Phule Pune University

Abstract: For various purpose active systems ( e.g. living cells and tissues, active colloids etc) are perturbed externally. For example, navigation of magnetic microswarm in microfluidic channel, characterising the response of living cells and tissues by laser ablation, confining and tuning the dynamics of active colloids by optical trap etc. Here we will discuss how to tune the self organised structures of confined active particles by the boundary.
