DNMW06 - Recent challenges in the mathematical design of new materials

Living systems—from cellular assemblies to animal groups—exhibit remarkable self-organization driven by internal activity and physical interactions. In this talk, we explore how active forces shape large-scale behaviors in living materials, focusing on three representative systems:  bacterial elastica, living chiral crystals, and worm collectives. By integrating theory, simulations, and experiments, we show how synthetically designed as well as natural interactions can lead to interesting emergent properties such as programmable pattern formation, collective oscillations, and ultra-fast response dynamics.
