Abstract:

A robust phenomenon is one that does not depend on the nature of the system and thus on the underlying physical principles. Such phenomena include front propagation, pattern formation, self-organization and synchronization, etc.
This talk will focus on the study of robust phenomena in various non-equilibrium systems. We begin with an overview of my research during my master's thesis, which focused on the dynamics of front propagation in granular media and liquid crystals. This research highlights how these systems exhibit universal behavior despite their distinct physical properties.
Next, we move on to my Ph.D. research on non-identical coupled forced MEM resonators. In these systems, precise control of the injected energy allows us to navigate between linear and nonlinear regimes. The amplification and annihilation of mechanical modes, the control of Fano-like resonances, and phase synchronization are some examples of the rich dynamics exhibited by this type of system.
