SUMMARY:Quantum Dots: Fundamentals to Quantum Networks
DESCRIPTION:Yusuf Karlı\nUniversity of Cambridge \n\nQuantum networks promise fundamentally new ways to communicate and process information by harnessing the laws of quantum mechanics. Semiconductor quantum dots offer a practical and scalable platform for realizing many of the key components required for such networks. Because quantum dots confine charge carriers in all three spatial dimensions\, they exhibit discrete\, atom-like energy levels that enable precise control over light–matter interactions. \nThis talk introduces the basic physics of quantum dots and explains how their optical properties enable the on-demand generation of single photons and entangled photon pairs. It then explores how interactions between confined spin states and emitted photons create spin–photon entanglement\, providing a direct interface for quantum networking\, and highlights how these capabilities position quantum dots as promising building blocks for quantum networks\, with applications ranging from secure communication to distributed quantum information processing. \n \n  \nAbout Speaker\nYusuf Karli completed his PhD at the University of Innsbruck in 2024 with Gregor Weihs\, working on single and entangled photon generation from quantum dots. His PhD work was awarded IQOQI Thesis Prize by the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He then joined Mete Atatüre’s group at the University of Cambridge\, where he works on quantum memory and quantum network applications using quantum dots. Since October 2025\, he has been elected as Fellow and Director of Studies Natural Sciences at Emmanuel College\, University of Cambridge. \n \n

SUMMARY:From sound fields to functions through the design of acoustic operators for microscale particle control
DESCRIPTION:Carlos A. Dorao\nNorwegian University of Science and Technology \n\nManipulating micro- and nanoscale particles is fundamentally challenging because\, at small scales\, conventional forces behave very differently. Particles are dominated by viscous drag\, Brownian motion\, and surface forces\, making them difficult to control precisely without physical contact or chemical labeling. Traditional mechanical or optical methods can be invasive\, complex\, or difficult to scale\, especially when dealing with delicate biological samples or large numbers of particles. This is where acoustic manipulation offers a compelling alternative. Sound waves can generate contactless\, gentle\, and tunable forces inside fluids\, enabling us to design acoustic operators that perform tasks such as patterning\, concentration\, mixing\, and lysis. By structuring the acoustic field in space and time\, we can create programmable operations that act on particles across a wide range of sizes. \n \n  \nAbout Speaker\nProfessor Carlos A. Dorao is a professor at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He holds an engineering degree in Nuclear Engineering from the Balseiro Institute (Argentina) and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from NTNU. His research focuses on the development of acoustic operators for the manipulation of micro- and nanoscale particles using sound waves as well as on fundamental thermohydraulics with an emphasis on identifying dominant heat transfer mechanisms in two-phase flow systems and understanding how flow oscillations influence these mechanisms. \n

SUMMARY:Highly Crystalline Organic Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conductors for Microfiber-Based Bioelectronic Interfaces and Energy Storage Devices
DESCRIPTION:Myung-Han Yoon\nGwangju Institute of Science and Technology \n\nIn this research\, we report highly crystalline organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) designed to overcome the inherent trade-off between electrical/electrochemical performance and long-term aqueous stability. First\, by introducing a sulfuric acid treatment\, we successfully crystallized poly(3\,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) films. These films exhibit excellent electrical\, electrochemical\, and optical properties\, alongside robust long-term stability and high biocompatibility for primary cultured cardiomyocytes and neurons over several weeks. Consequently\, they were successfully employed in high-performance multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) to record and stimulate the electrophysiological activities of primary cardiomyocytes and chicken retinal tissues. Furthermore\, we developed the fabrication of crystalline PEDOT:PSS microfibers and a unique self-fusion process to create single-strand wearable electrochemical transistors and 3D microfibrillar network-based bioelectronic interfaces. Finally\, we demonstrated fiber-type energy storage devices by implementing carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn/PEDOT:PSS core-shell fibers. \n \n  \n1. Kim\, S.-M.\, et al.

SUMMARY:From Molecules to Populations: How Single-Cell Stochasticity Drives Population Heterogeneity in Bacteria
DESCRIPTION:Murat Tuğrul\nHumboldt-Universität zu Berlin \n\nA central challenge in evolutionary biology is predicting how microscopic processes within a cell determine the macroscopic success of a population. While classical population genetics often treats cellular fitness as a scalar parameter\, real biological populations are characterized by profound phenotypic heterogeneity\, even among genetically identical individuals. In this talk\, I will present a multiscale framework that links biophysical mechanisms directly to population-level outcomes and heterogeneity. First\, I will show single-cell microscopy techniques that allow us to collect high-resolution data on physiological states\, gene expression\, and fitness components in bacteria. Integrating mathematical modeling with single-cell experiments\, I will demonstrate how stochastic damage dynamics and asymmetric segregation reshape individual lifespans and emergent population growth. Second\, I will focus on the complex regulatory systems controlling polygenic traits\, specifically the flagellar network. I will show how the biophysical logic of genetic networks generates phenotypic bimodality\, providing a strategic ‘hedge’ that might facilitate evolutionary survival. Finally\, I will argue for a transition toward a mechanistic evolutionary theory where the physics of the cell dictates the logic of adaptation\, offering new insights into global challenges such as antibiotic resistance. \n \n  \nAbout Speaker\nDr. Murat Tuğrul is a biophysicist and theoretical evolutionary biologist studying how stochastic processes at the single-cell level give rise to population-level heterogeneity and evolution. He is currently a Research Fellow in the Molecular Microbiology Lab at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin\, where he combines mathematical modeling with single-cell data analysis to investigate the regulatory principles of bacterial flagellar systems. Previously\, he led a Marie Skłodowska-Curie project at Freie Universität Berlin focused on bacterial aging and damage accumulation in single cells. He completed his PhD at IST Austria\, developing biophysical and population genetic models of transcriptional evolution. His research integrates theory and experiment to build predictive\, multiscale frameworks for understanding how cellular processes shape fitness and evolution in microbial populations. \n \n

SUMMARY:Building a minimal nucleus to understand structure and  mechanics of assembly
DESCRIPTION:Alexander Von Appen\nMPI of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics \n\nThe nucleus\, the largest organelle in human cells\, plays a crucial role in protecting\, organizing\, and regulating our genome. Despite its complexity\, it undergoes remarkable dynamics during cell division: as the cell enters mitosis\, nuclear organization dissolves\, leading to the detachment of the nuclear membrane from chromatin. The nucleoplasm and cytoplasm merge into a single entity\, while the spindle distributes chromosomes to form daughter cells. Following this “open” mitosis\, the entire organelle reassembles within minutes\, prompting the central question: what molecular mechanisms drive nuclear self-assembly? \nI will present our latest efforts to reconstitute nuclear self-assembly processes\, which we study structurally using cryo-electron tomography and mechanically using optical tweezers. Specifically\, I will show how ESCRT proteins assemble to close the nuclear membrane and how DNA is organized at the chromatin–nuclear membrane interface. \n \n  \n  \nAbout speaker\nPhD\, EMBL Heidelberg\, with Martin Beck\, studying the structure of the human nuclear pore complex PostDoc\, UCSF San Francisco\, with Adam Frost\, studying the role of phase separation in ESCRT-mediated nuclear membrane assembly Since 2021\, Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics\, Dresden\, Germany \n \n

SUMMARY:Injectable Cryogels for Biomedical Applications:  from Tissue Engineering to Immunotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Sidi A. Bencherif\nUniversity of Rouen Normandy\nNortheastern University \n\nAcross cell therapy\, regenerative medicine\, and immunoengineering\, there is a need for advanced three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds that support cells\, modulate their behavior\, and guide tissue regeneration. Injectable biomaterials have become especially attractive\, offering minimally invasive delivery without the risks of open surgery while enabling precise placement within delicate tissues. In this context\, we introduced a breakthrough platform: large\, preformed macroporous cryogels that can be delivered through a standard needle–syringe system while preserving their structure and function [1]. Our 2012 report of the first injectable cryogel capable of passing through a hypodermic needle while maintaining native-like microenvironmental cues sparked widespread interest and helped redefine the design space of soft biomaterials [2]. These sponge-like constructs\, produced through environmentally friendly cryogelation\, exhibit unique features—including elasticity\, interconnected macroporosity\, and shape-memory behavior enabling complete geometric recovery after injection. Over the past decade\, injectable cryogels have emerged as a versatile and customizable class of biomaterials aligned with modern research priorities. They hold great promise for tissue repair\, controlled drug delivery\, cell therapies\, cancer immunotherapy\, and innovative vaccine platforms\, including those developed during the COVID-19 era [3–5]. \nAcknowledgements\nFinancial support from the Chaire d’Excellence de Normandie is gratefully acknowledged.  \nReferences\n[1] L.J.
