Frontiers of Search in Heterogeneous Environments: From Markovian to Non-Markovian Dynamics

Workshop
August 29, 2027 - September 3, 2027
The ability to track the motion of animals, cells, and tiny tracers has exposed the absence of a unifying theory for search in heterogeneous environments. Long-standing assumptions about trajectories and first-passage statistics fail dramatically when memory and heterogeneities come into play. Our workshop focuses on these frontier themes, with novel data, tools and techniques pushing into unexplored directions.
