Traffic and transport can be observed in many complex systems and at almost
all levels of nature (e.g., from microscopic motor proteins to macroscopic
objects like vehicles) and proved to be a rewarding research topic in the last
few years.
Our research studies the dynamics of the traffic in self-driven many-particle
systems. Self-driven many-particle systems contain many interacting particles
(e.g., molecular protein motors and cars). Also, they can be kept out of
equilibrium due to either self-driven or external fields. In this regard, such
systems are also known as driven diffusive systems. We particular interested
in self-driven diffusive systems in which traffic flow of particles can be
considered as taking place on ``tracks''. Examples include the directed
movement of motor proteins (e.g., Kinesin and Dynein) along cytoskeletal
filaments (i.e., microtubules or actin filaments). Motor protein traffic is
one of the topics in System Biology.
Our research is conducted in two approaches: theoretical analysis (e.g., mean
field approach and domain wall theory) and Monte Carlo simulations. The
results of these two approaches can verify each other. In this seminar, we
will discuss some our progresses in the field and potential future work. Biography:
