Sarah Loos

Dr. Sarah Loos is a Max Planck Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences. Her group investigates the statistical physics of nonequilibrium systems, focusing on systems that break detailed balance at microscopic scales, such as active matter and living systems.

Research interests include:

• Energy and entropy flows in nonequilibrium systems
• Thermodynamic-dynamic property relationships
• Optimal control strategies for active matter
• Glassy dynamics and memory effects
• Non-reciprocal phase transitions

Group members include PhD student Lars Torbjørn Stutzer and PostDoc Gennaro Tucci. Contact: sarah.loos@mpinat.mpg.de.
