Coarse-Grained Models out of Equilibrium

Speaker: Tanya Schilling

Location: Online

Date: Friday, February 25, 2022, 2:30 p.m.

Synopsis:

Active matter, responsive materials and materials under time-dependent load are systems out
of thermal equilibrium. To construct coarse-grained models for such systems, one needs to integrate out a
distribution of microstates that evolves in time. This is a challenging task. In this talk, we
we review recent developments in theoretical approaches to the non-equilibrium coarse-graining problem,
in particular, time-dependent projection operator formalisms and numerical schemes to construct explicitly time-dependent memory kernels.
