    • Hydrodynamics of Ciliary Systems 

      Hickey, David James (2023-08-15)
      The interactions of cilia with one another and their environment are central to many important questions in biology. These hairlike organelles are found in motile and immotile (or `primary') variants, and have a variety ...
    • Advances in real-time phase-contrast flow MRI and multi-echo radial FLASH 

      Tan, Zhengguo (2016-05-26)
      The conventional multi-echo radial fast flow angle shot (FLASH) utilizes bipolar readout gradients with the same amplitude and duration to sample echoes in a fly-back-and-forth manner. This strategy is inefficient with ...
    • Leaf Venation Networks 

      Ronellenfitsch, Henrik Michael (2016-02-23)
      Understanding the leaf venation network is a multifaceted endeavor that requires tools from several fields of study. This thesis addresses a broad range of questions, all guided by a central theme: “How does the geometry ...
    • Quantifying Evolutionary Dynamics 

      Geyrhofer, Lukas (2015-06-04)
      Adaptation is a central process in evolution: populations adapt to their environment by accumulating beneficial mutations over the course of generations. Microbial populations present an excellent experimental system that ...
    • The Coalescent in Boundary-Limited Range Expansions 

      Nullmeier, Jens (2014-10-14)
      Habitat ranges of most species shift over time, for instance due to climate change, human intervention, or adaptation. These demographic changes often have drastic effects on the genetic composition of the population, ...
    • High-bandwidth microrheology of cytoskeletal networks 

      Bremerich, Marcel (2012-02-08)
      The understanding of the material properties, the organization and the assembly of the cytoskeleton remains challenging. In this thesis the viscoelastic properties of cytoskeletal networks ...
    • Topological Optimization in Network Dynamical Systems 

      Van Bussel, Frank (2011-04-05)
      In this thesis we look at results concerning two separate topics.The first topic belongs to the general problem of reconstruction of interaction networks using only per-site information. ...
    • Modelling chemical signalling cascades as stochastic reaction diffusion systems 

      Jentsch, Garrit (2007-07-24)
      The main objective of this work lies on the development and application of methods for the analysis of stochastic effects in spatially extended chemical signalling cascades. The chemical ...
