Many biological and soft material systems operate far from equilibrium, constantly evolving and consuming energy rather than settling into static states. These non-equilibrium conditions give rise to rich dynamics, adaptability, and emergent structure. Our research focuses on developing theoretical and computational frameworks to describe how organization arises under time-dependent and driven conditions. We seek intuitive, physically grounded ways to connect molecular interactions with macroscopic behavior in systems that are constantly changing. By studying non-equilibrium processes, we aim to uncover principles that are invisible to traditional equilibrium approaches. This work provides a foundation for understanding living systems and designing materials that exploit, rather than avoid, dynamical behavior.
