A wide v ariety of experimental model systems\, from self-driven colloids to active elastic materials\, has been established\, and an extensive theoretical fra mework has been developed to explain many of the experimentally observed no n-equilibrium pattern formation phenomena. Two key challenges for the comin g years will be to translate this foundational knowledge into functional ac tive materials\, and to identify sparse quantitative models that can inform and guide the design and production of such materials.\n\nHere\, I will de scribe joint efforts with our experimental collaborators to realize self-gr owing bacterial materials\, and to implement computational model inference schemes for active and living systems dynamics.
