Philip Biggin Biochemistry - University of Oxford Multiscale Simulation Approaches to Understanding the Control of Trafficking in Cells Trafficking receptors control protein localisation through the recognition of specific signal sequences that specify unique cellular locations. Differences in luminal or organellular pH are important for the vectorial trafficking of cargo receptors. The KDEL receptor is responsible […]

Erdinç Tatar Bilkent University - Electrical and Electronics Engineering, UNAM The path to no-drift sensors with on-chip stress calibration Navigation is vital for the future of autonomous mobility.  Data from multiple sensing modalities (GPS, camera, radar, …) are fused in navigation.  Among these sensors, inertial navigation is error-proof and can fit into every car and […]

Stefan Rotter TU Wien - Vienna University of Technology Coherent perfect absorption and transmission of light In my talk I will present two recent works focused on the perfect absorption and transmission of waves through interferometric cancellation of backscattering. In the first case , we demonstrate that even a weakly absorbing film can be turned […]

Víctor de Lorenzo The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) Design meets evolution: Theory and practice The prevailing view of biological evolution is not unlike bricolage/pastiche/tinkering—in sharp contrast with rational engineering. Yet, different paths often lead to solutions that coincide or converge whether they emerge from naturally-occurring evolution or rationally designed. Such a conjunction—often presented as […]
