DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Francesco Arceri (DFA UniPD)\n\nThis talk starts the
  BioSoft@UNIPD seminar series\, which brings together the soft matter and 
 biophysics community of the Department of Physics and Astronomy (DFA) at t
 he University of Padua\, focusing on experimental and theoretical advances
 . Check out the calendar of upcoming seminars here: https://docs.google.co

 ning Particles\nActive agents can reshape their environment by exerting me
 chanical work through collective motion. In this talk\, I will focus on th
 e optimal conditions for mechanical work transfer in confined active matte
 r using a minimal model of self-propelled particles with aligning interact
 ions described by the Kuramoto interaction. I will first consider particl
 es confined by reflective boundaries\, and systematically identify distinc
 t dynamical regimes arising from the interplay between self-propulsion and
  synchronization. I will then introduce frictional rigid boundaries and di
 rectly quantify the transferred angular momentum from the active medium to
  its surroundings. By letting the boundary rotate around its center\, its 
 rotational kinetic energy becomes a direct estimation of work performed by
  the active particles. These results demonstrate that both collective alig
 nment and motility regulate the efficiency of energy transfer\, with optim
 al conditions emerging from a nontrivial balance between coherence and per
 sistent motion.\n\nhttps://indico.dfa.unipd.it/event/1862/
