Renormalized mechanics and stochastic thermodynamics of growing vesicles

Jordan L. Shivers, Michael Nguyen, Aaron R. Dinner +2

Uncovering the rules governing the nonequilibrium dynamics of the membranes that define biological cells is of central importance to understanding the physics of living systems. We…

A mean field thermodynamic framework for time dependent self-assembly and pattern formation

Michael Nguyen, Suriyanarayanan Vaikuntanathan

In this work, we use a minimal model to introduce a framework for controlling self-assembly under the influence of time-dependent driving forces. We develop a mean-field thermodyna…

A strong non-equilibrium bound for sorting of crosslinkers on growing biopolymers

Yuqing Qiu, Michael Nguyen, Glen M. Hocky +2

Understanding the role of non-equilibrium driving in self-organization is crucial for developing a predictive description of biological systems, yet it is impeded by their complexi…

Dissipation induced transitions in two dimensional elastic membranes

Michael Nguyen, Suriyanarayanan Vaikuntanathan

Stochastic thermodynamics provides a useful set of tools to analyze and constrain the behavior of far from equilibrium systems. In this paper, we report an application of ideas fro…

Design principles for non-equilibrium self-assembly

Michael Nguyen, Suriyanarayanan Vaikuntanathan

We consider an important class of self-assembly problems and using the formalism of stochastic thermodynamics, we derive a set of design principles for growing controlled assemblie…
