  Stochastic thermodynamics provides a useful set of tools to analyze and
constrain the behavior of far from equilibrium systems. In this paper, we
report an application of ideas from stochastic thermodynamics to the problem of
membrane growth. Non-equilibrium forcing of the membrane can cause it to buckle
and undergo a morphological transformation. We show how ideas from stochastic
thermodynamics, in particular the recently derived thermodynamic uncertainty
relations, can be used to phenomenologically describe and constrain the
parameters required to excite morphological changes during a non-equilibrium
growth process.
