The talk will begin with a brief introduction to active soft matter, matter composed of active agents which consume energy to generate motion. Examples of active matter include schools of fish, flocks of birds, collections of bio-polymers such as microtubules and actin, and swimming bacteria - the focus of the remainder of the talk. A kinetic theory describing the time-dependent distribution of bacterial swimmers is presented. The model includes hydrodynamic interactions among swimmers mediated through the surrounding low-reynolds-number flow. Through this model, we ask "how does confinement of active matter affect its dynamics?" We consider the dynamics of concentrated regions of active matter and active matter confined to a droplet.
