Project title, type and project number
Collective dynamics and selforganization of active particles, 2018/30/Q/ST3/00434, 54/2021
Project leader
Prof. Wojciech Góźdź
Description
The project is devoted to the investigation of the behavior of active matter in confinement. We will investigate the behavior of large collections of active particles in confided geometries of different shape and topology. We will use established model and develop new ones with the emphasis om the simplicity of the interactions. We will mainly focus on the numerical calculations. However we will also collaborate with the experimental groups working on active matter systems.
