Self-organisation of proteins in cells Protein pattern formation is essential for the spatial organization of intracellular processes like cell division, and flagellum positioning. A prominent example of intracellular patterns is the oscillatory pole-to-pole oscillations of Min proteins in E. coli whose function is to ... more |

Anomalous Transport in Correlated Quantum Matter Universality in equilibrium asserts that microscopic details are irrelevant for the emergent quantum phases of matter and their transitions. Rather, symmetries and topology determine the essential macroscopic properties. By contrast, all scales, from low to high energies, are rel ... more |

Formation of moiré interlayer excitons in space and time Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are an exciting model system to study ultrafast energy dissipation pathways, and to create and tailor new emergent quantum phases [1,2]. The versatility of TMDs results from the confinement of optical excitations in two-dimensions and the c ... more |

Controlling optical properties at the nanoscale: an (electro-)chemical approach The optical and electrical properties of nanomaterials strongly depend on their composition and geometry at the nanoscale. The intrinsic constraints of conventional synthetic and lithographic techniques have limited the types of heterostructures that can be created and studied in ... more |

Biophysical modelling of the role of geometry on tissue patterning and growth It is well known that the physical environment of growing cells and tissues plays an important role on their behaviour. In particular recent research has shown that the curvature of a substrate can influence the growth of a tissue and also the organisation of the extracellular ma ... more |

Single-photon sources and detectors for quantum based radiometry In this presentation, an overview of single photon sources and detectors is given with regard to their application in metrology, especially quantum radiometry. Single photon sources and detectors have a broad field of application, ranging from almost pure research areas such as q ... more |

Ultrafast charge transfer in heterostructures of two-dimensional materials Heterostructures (HS) of two-dimensional materials offer unlimited possibilities to design new materials for applications to optoelectronics and photonics. In such HS the electronic structure of the individual layers is well retained because of the weak interlayer van der Waals c ... more |

From quarks and gluons to exotic hadrons With recent experimental evidence for tetraquarks and pentaquarks, hadron spectroscopy is nowadays a cutting-edge area of research with the LHC among its central facilities. Hadrons are bound states of quarks and gluons in QCD, the theory of the strong interaction, but their spec ... more |
