Workshop on Topological Protection in Messy Matter - Welcome and Overview

Abstract

The Workshop on Topological Protection in Messy Matter is sponsored by Georgia Tech's Community for Research on Active Surfaces and Interfaces (CRĀSI). The workshop will bring together distinguished researchers from diverse intellectual communities to present and moreover to develop new ways of exploiting topology in "messy" systems, including but not limited to disordered, fluid, amorphous, active, structured and quasicrystalline systems.
