Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics of a Two-temperature Ising Ring With Conserved Dynamics
The statistical mechanics of a one-dimensional Ising model in thermal equilibrium is well-established, textbook material. Yet, when driven far from equilibrium by coupling two sectors to two baths at different temperatures, it exhibits remarkable phenomena, including an unexpected 'freezing by …

Collective Phenomena in Active Systems
… tools from soft condensed matter physics and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. The work has been organized into two parts through five chapters. In part one (chapter 2 to 3), continuum theories have been utilized to study pattern formation in bacteria suspensions, actomyosin systems and …

Bacteria At Oil-Water Interfaces
… collective motion is studied in the context of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Bacteria can also become trapped at or near fluid interfaces, impacting bacteria fate and interface mechanics. Here I study bacteria near hexadecane-water interfaces. I investigate films formed by Pseudomonas …

Steered molecular dynamics: a tool to investigate molecular interactions
… human retinoic acid receptor (hRAR)-ϒ. The non-equilibrium statistical mechanics theory underlying the analysis of SMD results is developed. One-dimensional stochastic models were formulated in terms of Langevin and the associated Smoluchowski equations, together with the theory of first …

Density Fluctuations and Phase Behaviour in Non-Equilibrium Systems
… is an established theoretical framework within equilibrium statistical physics, where the underlying physical laws are microscopically reversible in time. For such systems, the Boltzmann probability distribution explicitly governs the space of all possible configurations, allowing a thorough …

On the Relaxation Dynamics of Disordered Systems
… to investigate the steady-state properties and non-equilibrium relaxation kinetics of magnetic vortex lines in disordered type-II superconductors. To this end, we developed a versatile and efficient Langevin molecular dynamics simulation code, allowing us to do a careful study of samples with or …

Aspects of population dynamics
… fixation events, noise-stabilized patterns, and nontrivial correlations. Likewise, changing environments can greatly affect the behavior and ultimate fate of ecological systems. In fact, the dynamics of evolution are mostly driven by randomness and changing environments. Therefore, it is of …

Quantitative studies and Hydrodynamical limits for interacting particle systems
… to the mathematical study of microscopic non-equilibrium systems that were first introduced in order to derive macroscopic physical laws such as Fourier's law. In particular the main objective is to determine the scaling of the spectral gap, i.e. the relaxation rate, in terms of the number …

Strongly correlated quantum fluids and effective thermalization in non-Markovian driven-dissipative photonic systems
… essential features. This interference phenomenon called ``quantum degeneracy'' which occurs at weak temperatures, leads to spectacular collective behaviours such as the celebrated Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) phase transition, where a macroscopic fraction of a bosonic system of particles …
