Topological transitions and cell-cell adhesion properties in biological development The biological developmental process —the process that starts with one fertilized cell and ends with the fully developed individual— implies precise but significant changes in the geometry and structure of the embryonic tissues. Recent results show that apparently minor chang ... more |

Solvation of ions, surfactants and polymers at interfaces and in confinement In contact with aqueous solutions, many interface types spontaneously acquire a surface charge through deprotonation, adsorption of charged species, or both. Moreover, modification of surface properties by polymer adsorption is a widely used technique to tune interactions in expe ... more |

Nanophotonics meet Optical Fibers: a flexible concept for single-virus sensing, achromatic light focusing and optical trapping Optical fibers provide a waveguide platform with unique advantages, especially in the fields of bioanalytics and life sciences. In this talk, I will report our recent results on fibers (i) that are interfaced with nanostructures and (ii) that are used for the characterization of ... more |

Flavour matters – Highlights from the LHCb experiment The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) close to Geneva holds many records. Amongst others, it is the world largest flavour factory. More than 10^12 particles containing bottom quarks and even more containing charm quarks have been recorded by the LHCb experiment, in recent years. Exploi ... more |

Coulomb interactions in conventional Superconductivity First principle methods to simulate conventional superconductors rely, primarily, on the accurate calculation of the electron phonon coupling. However, phonon mediated attraction is partly compensated by an excess electron-electron Coulomb repulsion associated with the formatio ... more |

Feeling Life with Light The colour of light scattered from an object can give us information on its chemical consistency. For example, a moldy apple will be a different colour to a fresh one. If we analyze the spectrum of colours even more carefully and under special illumination conditions we can even ... more |

Nanocomposites and polymer thin films: from gas phase synthesis to functional applications Highly filled particulate metal-dielectric nanocomposites films have unique functional properties with hosts of applications. To explore collective interactions between the particles, we control the particle separation on the nm scale by employing vapor phase deposition, which is ... more |

Dielectric Mie voids Manipulating light on the nanoscale has become a central challenge in metadevices, resonant surfaces, nanoscale optical sensors and many more, and it is largely based on resonant light confinement in dispersive and lossy metals and dielectrics. I will discuss a novel paradigm in ... more |

Mesoscale phase transformations in beyond-intercalation-type batteries Realizing beyond intercalation-type batteries, such as Metal-sulfur (Me-S) batteries, could be game-changing due to a theoretical specific capacity amongst the highest of all batteries paired with the low cost and sustainability of sulfur. However, the insufficient understanding ... more |

Nuclear Quantum Effects in Ice - New Insights from Computational Modelling In crystalline phases of water nuclear quantum effects manifest themselves quite prominently in macroscopic thermodynamic properties, like for example density change at low temperatures [1] upon substitution of a light by a heavier isotope or phase transition enthalpies [2]. The ... more |

Out of the Crystalline Comfort Zone: ML-Empowered Modelling of Operando Energy Conversion Systems Operando spectroscopies and microscopies reveal a highly dynamic behavior of interfaces in energy conversion systems. Insufficient insight and the concomitant inability to control or exploit the corresponding strong structural and compositional modifications centrally limits the ... more |
