A Reachability-based Safety Certificate for Dynamical System Motion Policies
Aditya Vats, Tianyi Xia, Nadia Figueroa
Dynamical Systems (DS) are reactive motion policies representing vector fields trained with theoretical guarantees of stability and convergence. To ensure safety during deployment…
Surface-directed Dynamics in Living Liquid Crystals
Aditya Vats, Varsha Banerjee, Sanjay Puri
We study living liquid crystals (LLCs), which are an amalgam of nematic liquid crystals (LCs) and active matter (AM). These LLCs are placed in contact with surfaces which impose pl…
Symbiotic Dynamics in Living Liquid Crystals
Aditya Vats, Pradeep Kumar Yadav, Varsha Banerjee +1
An amalgamate of nematic liquid crystals and active matter, referred to as living liquid crystals, is a promising self-healing material with futuristic applications for targeted de…
Emergence of Biaxiality in Nematic Liquid Crystals with Magnetic Inclusions: Some Theoretical Insights
Aditya Vats, Sanjay Puri, Varsha Banerjee
The biaxial phase in nematic liquid crystals has been elusive for several decades after its prediction in the 1970s. A recent experimental breakthrough was achieved by Liu et al. […
Domain Growth in Ferronematics: Slaved Coarsening, Emergent Morphologies and Growth Laws
Aditya Vats, Varsha Banerjee, Sanjay Puri
Ferronematics (FNs) are suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles in nematic liquid crystals (NLCs). They have attracted much experimental attention, and are of great interest both sci…
Slaved Coarsening in Ferronematics
Aditya Vats, Varsha Banerjee, Sanjay Puri
We focus on understanding the influence of the two-component coupling in ferronematics, a colloidal suspension of magnetic nanoparticles in nematic liquid crystals. Using coarse-gr…
