报告摘要：
Self-organization is often observed in active matter systems such as cell colonies, developing tissue, insect swarms, bird flocks, and groups of autonomous robots.  Its emergence in fluid-like systems of self-propelled agents with aligning interactions has been the focus of intense research. In this talk, I will introduce an alternative active matter model in which interactions are position-based and have no explicitly aligning component. In this model, an elasticity-based mechanism drives the agents to self-organize by selecting lower-energy collective modes. Given its simplicity, this mechanism could play a relevant role in a variety of natural and artificial active systems.
报告人简介：
Prof. Cristián Huepe is a theoretical physicist conducting research in complex systems using approaches from nonlinear dynamics, nonequilibrium systems and statistical physics.  Prof. Huepe obtained his PhD at the école Normale Supérieure in Paris, after completing undergraduate studies in his native Chile. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Chicago, first at the University of Chicago and later at Northwestern University. Since 2006, Prof. Huepe has worked as an unaffiliated researcher, heading his own CHuepe Labs in Chicago, supported by various research funds. He has developed two major NSF grant projects, one with Prof. Iain Couzin and his lab at Princeton University.
 
Prof. Huepe is currently an Adjunct Research Professor at Northwestern University, External Faculty at the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems, and an Associate Researcher at Beijing Normal University (where he works 2 months per year). He has also been a Guest Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (Dresden, Germany) and had extended visits at the City University of Hong Kong, the Robert-Koch Institute and Humboldt University in Berlin (Germany), the Institute for Physical Sciences at UNAM (Mexico), and the Universidad de Chile in Santiago (Chile). His work has been featured in Science Daily, Focus Online, National Geographic Germany and Wired Magazine, among others.
