Remembrance of Tasks Past in Tunable Physical Networks

Purba Chatterjee, Marcelo Guzman, Andrea J. Liu

Sequential learning in physical networks is hindered by catastrophic forgetting, where training a new task erases solutions to earlier ones. We show that we can significantly enhan…

Hierarchical Loop Stabilization in Periodically Driven Elastic Networks

Purba Chatterjee, Eleni Katifori

Network remodeling, or adaptation, in the presence of periodically driven forcings has hereto remained largely unexplored, despite the fact that a broad class of biological transpo…

Pulsatile Driving Stabilizes Loops in Elastic Flow Networks

Purba Chatterjee, Sean Fancher, Eleni Katifori

Existing models of adaptation in biological flow networks consider their constituent vessels (e.g. veins and arteries) to be rigid, thus predicting a non physiological response whe…

DNA Supercoiling Drives a Transition between Collective Modes of Gene Synthesis

Purba Chatterjee, Nigel Goldenfeld, Sangjin Kim

Recent experiments showed that multiple copies of the molecular machine RNA polymerase (RNAP) can efficiently synthesize mRNA collectively in the active state of the promoter. Howe…

Three-body Interactions Drive the Transition to Polar Order in a Simple Flocking Model

Purba Chatterjee, Nigel Goldenfeld

A large class of mesoscopic or macroscopic flocking theories are coarse-grained from microscopic models that feature binary interactions as the chief aligning mechanism. However wh…
