Stefan Bittner University of Lorraine Nonlinear dynamics and chaos in multimode semiconductor lasers Nonlinear dynamics and deterministic chaos are ubiquitous in nature and appear in a large variety of physical, chemical and biological systems. Due to their strong nonlinearities, lasers exhibit a very wide range of different dynamics and are ideal testbeds for studying chaotic […]
Tuncay Alan Monash University Acoustofluidics for ultrafast mixing and personalised drug delivery At the Dynamic Micro Devices Laboratory, we study the interaction between nonlinear micro/nanoscale resonators and fluid media, developing acoustically actuated microsystems. This seminar will present recent advances in these technologies, with applications in chemical synthesis, drug delivery, and liquid atomization, and their potential […]
Akira Miura Hokkaido University Exploring new chloride materials: synthesis, transport, and mechanical properties Chlorides, such as NaCl, had been considered simple ionic compounds. However, in recent years, chlorides with diverse structures have been actively studied as functional materials such as semiconductors and ionic conductors. In this presentation, I exhibit our recent progress on the synthesis […]
Gregory Schehr Sorbonne University Stochastic processes under resetting have garnered increasing attention in recent years. One of the simplest examples involves a diffusive particle whose position is randomly reset to a fixed point, such as its initial position, at a constant rate r. Even this basic system reveals fascinating phenomena: (i) the system reaches a […]
Allard P. Mosk Utrecht University Random scattering of light, which takes place in paper, paint and biological tissue is an obstacle to imaging and focusing of light and thus hampers many applications. At the same time scattering is a phenomenon of basic physical interest and its relation to the information content of light is subtle […]

Talha Erdem Abdullah Gül University Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions have already been accepted as the straightforward way to limit the environmental effects of the global warming. Toward this aim, significant efforts have been put forward in the field of photonics as well. For example, solar energy became a significant source of energy and light-emitting […]
Ayşe Aslıhan Gökaltun Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School Advancements in biomaterials and biopreservation technologies are critical to overcoming key bottlenecks in clinical care, from wound management to organ transplantation. To highlight the state-of-the-art in these fields and reflect on current challenges and opportunities, this talk will first present our development of stimuli-responsive supramolecular hydrogels […]
