Active superelasticity in three-dimensional epithelia of controlled shape

Latorre Ibars, Ernest (Date of defense: 2021-02-19)

Fundamental processes in development and physiology are determined by the three-dimensional architecture of epithelial sheets. How these sheets deform and fold into complex structures has remained unclear, however, because ...

Disentangling ecological networks in marine microbes

Deutschmann, Ina Maria (Date of defense: 2021-11-29)

There is a myriad of microorganisms on Earth contributing to global biogeochemical cycles, and their interactions are considered pivotal for ecosystem function. Previous studies have already determined relationships between ...

A study of cortical network models with realistic connectivity

Vegué, Marina (Date of defense: 2018-03-23)

Structure is fundamental in shaping the types of computations that neuronal circuits can perform. Explaining the laws that determine the connectivity properties of brain networks and their implications in neuronal dynamics ...

A theoretical and computational study of soft adhesion mediated by mobile binders

Kaurin, Dimitri (Date of defense: 2018-10-29)

We examine a classical problem in soft-matter physics: the specific adhesion between deformable elastic objects, such as vesicles, mediated by mobile adhesion molecules. This problem is relevant to cell-cell adhesion. To ...
