Topological defects are known to play an important role in the statics and dynamics of matter in equilibrium. It is less clear how such defects modify the behaviour of matter out of equilibrium. This project will investigate the role played by topological defects in "active matter", a paradigm of non-equilibrium, confined to curved manifolds. The techniques used will include differential geometry, partial differential equations, stochastic processes, and numerical methods.

拓扑缺陷在平衡态物质的静力学和动力学中起着重要的作用。目前还不清楚这些缺陷是如何改变物质的平衡行为的。这个项目将调查拓扑缺陷在“活性物质”中所起的作用，活性物质是一种非平衡的范例，局限于弯曲的流形。所使用的技术将包括微分几何，偏微分方程，随机过程和数值方法。
