Tal Agranov

Tal Agranov is a Researcher in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge. His work focuses on non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, active matter, and biological physics. He explores collective dynamics in systems such as active lattice gases, flocking models, and cellular migration, emphasizing entropy production, phase transitions, and stochastic processes.

His research integrates theoretical frameworks like macroscopic fluctuation theory and fluctuating hydrodynamics to analyze systems far from equilibrium. Key interests include the statistical behavior of interacting diffusing particles, survival/extinction dynamics in coupled populations, and rare event analysis under non-Gaussian noise.

Agranov's studies bridge theory and experiment, notably with work on the Airy distribution validated through experimental setups. His contributions address fundamental questions in active matter, nonequilibrium thermodynamics, and biological systems.
