Active Matter

The study of collective behavior and dynamics of systems composed of self-propelled entities at the micro or nanoscale is commonly referred to as active matter. These entities possess the ability to convert stored or ambient energy into directed motion, enabling them to actively navigate their environment and exhibit intriguing emergent phenomena. My research focuses mainly on collective, emergent behaviour of active matter, ranging from lattice models and Bose-Einstein-like condensation to topological mixing.

BLUES function method

The BLUES (Beyond Linear Use of Equation Superposition) function method is a powerful approach for analytically solving (nonlinear) differential equations. It employs an iterative procedure to find approximations to the solution and is effective for nonlinear ordinar and partial differential equations.
