Workshop on Physics of Soft, Active and Living Matter
January 7th, 2020
Keyaki Auditorium, Chiba University
Aims and Scope:
Active matter is a fast growing field in non-equilibrium physics across chemistry and biology, and its understanding has spread widely from soft matter to molecular engines and microorganisms.
This workshop "physics of soft, active, and living matter" aims to gather scientists who are developing this fields from physics to biology and even more, and disseminate recent developments, with our invited speakers including Prof. R.D. Astumian (Univ. Maine). We also offer the opportunity to present your work at poster session for further exchange of your idea.
We wish this workshop will open a new collaboration for researchers from multidisciplines to boost the research on soft/active/living matters.
Invited Speakers:
Prof. Raymond D. Astumian (Univ. Maine)
Prof. Takuji Ishikawa (Tohoku University)
Prof. Nariya Uchida (Tohoku University)
Prof. Marie Tani (Tokyo Metropolitan University)
Prof. Daiki Nishiguchi (The University of Tokyo)
Dr. Yuki Koyano (Tohoku University)
Importent notice: Prof. Golestanian's visit to Japan has been canceled.
