Frontiers of search in heterogeneous environments: From Markovian to Non-Markovian dynamics (Les Houches - WE Heraeus Seminar)

Centre for Complex Systems 

Dates: 29 August - 3 September 2027

Location: Ecole de Physique des Houches (France)

Synopsis: The ability to track the motion of animals, cells, and tiny tracers has exposed the absence of a unifying theory for search in heterogeneous environments. Long-standing assumptions about trajectories and first-passage statistics fail dramatically when memory and heterogeneities come into play. Our workshop focuses on these frontier themes, with novel data, tools and techniques pushing into unexplored directions.

Application deadline: 30 April 2027

Scientific organizers:
Luca Giuggioli (U Bristol)
Shamik Gupta (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, India)
Rainer Klages (CCS, QMUL)
