报告摘要：

He will introduce the new emerging field of active matter that deals with the collective properties of self-propelled particles, and then focus on the 'dry' case where the fluid in which the particles move can be neglected. He will present their current knowledge and some recent advances, and argue that statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics tools are necessary for a theoretical understanding of active matter, even in this case.
