DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cristina Marchetti\nhosted by Gasper Tkacik\nAbstract:
  Topology plays a key role in condensed matter physics\, underlying much o
 f our understanding of equilibrium matter in terms of defects in ordered m
 edia and topologically protected states. In active systems – collections
  of entities that consume energy to generate their own motion and forces 
 – topological phenomena can take on new and surprising roles. I will des
 cribe some of these behaviors focusing on liquid-crystalline active matter
  in two dimensions\, specifically active nematic liquid crystals\, where 
 defects become motile particles\, drive spatio-temporally chaotic flows\, 
 and can themselves organize in emergent ordered states.
