About The University of Edinburgh
Some appropriate content should go here. The University of Edinburgh is a public research university based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Founded by the town council under the authority of a royal charter from King James VI in 1582 and officially opened in 1583, it is one of Scotland's four ancient universities and the sixth-oldest university in continuous operation in the English-speaking world. The university played a crucial role in Edinburgh becoming a leading intellectual centre during the Scottish Enlightenment and contributed to the city being nicknamed the "Athens of the North".

Hosted Research Projects
Research Project: Beyond the extensile/contractile dichotomy in active nematics
Active nematics is one of the most studied situations in active matter physics, both in theory and experiments.
Research Project: Collective tug-of-war dynamics: from molecular motors to ant groups
The emergence of directed transport as a collective behaviour of many microscopic constituents is a ubiquitous problem in the statistical physics of active particles.
Research Project: Microscopically-informed active field theories
Active field theories are widely used to study collective effects in driven systems at all levels of organisation, allowing instabilities to pattern formation to be identified.
