The Physics of Complex Systems – 2024 conference, hosted by TIFR Hyderabad from November 18 to 20, 2024, aims to bring together leading national and international scientists at the forefront of research in statistical physics, fluid dynamics, and complex, disordered, and nonlinear systems. This event will focus on current advances, emerging challenges, and future directions in the study of complex systems.
Key topics of discussion will include the physics of disordered materials, active fluids and solids, metamaterials, and nonlinear systems. The conference aims to offer insights into the pressing issues shaping these fields today, setting the stage for new directions in complex systems science. This gathering will also provide a unique platform for young researchers to engage with established pioneers, fostering opportunities for collaboration.
The conference is organized by TIFR-Hyderabad, an institute under the Government of India’s Department of Atomic Energy, which operates with a department-less structure that facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration across various scientific fields. Faculty and students work closely on theoretical, computational, and experimental projects related to the study of complex systems in areas such as statistical physics, fluid dynamics, and nonlinear systems, with a strong focus on complex, disordered materials and active matter.
