STATISTICAL PHYSICS BEYOND EQUILIBRIUMWe investigate the statistical physics of systems that inherently break detailed balance at microscopic scales, such as those found in living and active matter, with the aim to deepen our understanding of the collective phenomena arising from nonequilibrium microscopic dynamics. A focus of the group is to study the energy and entropy flows associated with dynamical features, to link thermodynamic and dynamic properties, as well as their thermal and non-thermal fluctuations.
