Théorique, numérique Description
Transport of soft matter at small scales is crucial to challenges like nanomaterials and intracellular organization. These systems are strongly heterogeneous and nonequilibrium, making their analytical description difficult. Recent work has focused on tracer particles in nonequilibrium mixtures, showing enhanced diffusion and particle self-propulsion. The internship aims to extend these findings to confined geometries and long-range interactions, while refining the underlying stochastic field theory. The work is primarily analytical, requiring knowledge of stochastic processes and statistical field theory. PhD funding for 2025 is available.
