            Abstract : 
In this work we investigate the self-organizing behavior of self-propelled, interacting particles. Using GPU-optimized molecular dynamics simulation we find steady state structures stabilized far-from-equilibrium. We show how these structures depend upon interaction parameters, thermodynamic parameters, and initial conditions.
