Frontiers in Non-Equilibrium Physics (FNEP II)

Overview: While the formalism of equilibrium physics is established in an elegant way within the Boltzmannian description, understanding of non-equilibrium systems remains elusive although they are prevalent in nature. For example, nonequilibrium aspects are essential for fluid motions, material failure or sustenance life in a single cell. The last two decades have seen a tremendous growth on this broad theme and lots of efforts have been made to put forward unifying principles and general truths. This conference aims to bring together leading experts, young scientists, early career researchers and students working in different areas of the broad field of non-equilibrium physics, in the pursuit of cross-talks across disciplines and for fostering collaborations. The conference is not focused on any specific areas but broad themes would be: random processes and applications, statistical physics, non-equilibrium phenomena in soft and biophysics. This is a biennial conference. The first one took place in 2023 at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai and details of the same can be found here: /frontiers_non_equilibrium_physics_fnep
