Stochastic Thermodynamics in Biology
Stochastic thermodynamics involves the study the nonequilibrium dynamics of small systems, the behaviour of which are inherently random due to thermal fluctuations. The concepts of stochastic thermoynamics are increasingly being used to investigate the properties of biological systems. This school aims to introduce the concepts of stochastic thermodynamics and its application to biology to early career researchers. It is aimed at research scholars working in the area of physics of biological systems. The school will take place over a duration of 5 days, and will consist of a series of lectures covering the fundamental concepts followed by specific applications to biological systems.
Applications are invited from motivated graduate students and early career postdocs working in the area of statistical mechanics and biological physics. Highly motivated final year masters students may also apply.
Limited travel support may be available for eligible candidates.
