Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics: Fundamental Problems and Applications
The 2009 Boulder School will be devoted to non-equilibrium systems (introduction, classic models, and recent developments), non-equilibrium work theorems and fluctuation relations, reaction-diffusion and interacting particle systems, non-equilibrium dynamics in magnets, driven elastic systems and soft matter: out of equilibrium: polymers, colloids, membranes.
The goals of this school are twofold: First, to provide a pedagogical introduction and overview of the fundamentals and recent progress in non-equilibrium statistical physics for graduate students and postdocs working in both theory and experiment, and second, to point out opportunities for fruitful future developments.
The electronic application form (deadline February 27, 2009) as well as logistical information and more details on the program are available on the School's main web page.
