SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium: "Biomedical Active Matter"
LOCATION:Physics Building 202/204\, 140 Sims Drive\, Syracuse NY 13210
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Department of Physics in welcoming Arnold Math
 ijssen\, assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania\, for his 
 talk titled\, "Biomedical Active Matter."\n\nBIO: Arnold Mathijssen is an
  assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania and associate edit
 or at the journal Physics of Fluids. Arnold completed his PhD in biophysi
 cs with Julia Yeomans FRS at the University Oxford (2016)\, and a postdoc
  in bioengineering with Manu Prakash at Stanford University (2020). Arnol
 d received an NSF CAREER Award\, the Cottrell Scholars Award\, the APS Ch
 arles Kittel Award\, an HFSP Cross-Disciplinary Fellowship\, the UK IoP S
 ir Sam Edwards PhD Thesis Prize\, and the ‘30 under 30’ Award by Scientif
 ic American. Arnold is also a popular science communicator known for culi
 nary fluid mechanics and the science of pour-over coffee\, with coverage 
 in The New York Times\, The Guardian\, CNN\, FOX\, USA Today\, and Food &
  Wine Magazine.\n\nABSTRACT: Living systems are made of active materials\
 , where microscopic components work together to perform macroscopic biolo
 gical tasks. The collapse of these collective functionalities leads to di
 seases\, which may be understood better using models based on fundamental
  physics principles. Moreover\, these health conditions may be treated wi
 th synthetic active materials that exploit biomimetic self-organization a
 nd self-healing. In this talk\, I will discuss this new field of biomedic
 al active matter and highlight a few examples from our research with bact
