    • Crawling, Waving, Spinning : Activity Matters 

      Maitra, Ananyo (2017-12-12)
      This thesis has been concerned with a few problems in systems driven at the scale of particles. The problems dealt with here can be extended and elaborated upon in a variety of ways. In 2 we examine the dynamics of a fluid ...

    • Flocks, Flow and Fluctuations in Inanimate Matter : Simulations and Theory 

      Soni, Harsh
      In this thesis we study a novel soft-matter system that imitates motility. Our system consists of a few asymmetrically tapered brass rods and aluminium beads which are confined between two vertically shaking plates. The ...

    • Glassy Dynamics in Active Matter 

      Mandal, Rituparno
      There has been much interest in the glassy dynamics of living systems at the scales of subcellular structures, cells and tissues. This has motivated theoretical studies on the approach to glassy behaviour in dense systems ...

    • Mesophases Of Active Matter : Translational Order, Critical Rheology And Electrostatics 

      Adhyapak, Tapan Chandra (2016-04-26)
      This thesis consists of research work in the broad area of soft condensed matter theory with a focus on active matter. The study of long wavelength, low frequency collective behavior of active particles (bacterial suspensions, ...
