From Chaos to Equilibrium: Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Fermionic Quantum Matter
(2025-07-11)This dissertation presents a comprehensive investigation of fermionic quantum matter into the intricate relationship between quantum chaos, thermalization, and their connection to gravitational duals, with particular ... -
Multi-scale X-ray phase-contrast tomography of the cochlea
(2025-07-04)The organ of Corti in the mammalian cochlea is the receptor organ for hearing, transducing sound into auditory nerve signals. In order to further extend our understanding of the underlying neurophysiology, three dimenstional ... -
3D Virtual Histopathology by Multiscale X-Ray Phase-Contrast Tomography: Novel Tools and Applications
(2025-07-02)Histological analysis has been considered as the gold standard for studying tissue architecture for over two centuries, providing essential insights into tissue morphology and organization. However, the technique is ... -
Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Multi-component Mixtures
(2025-06-27)This thesis investigates the interplay between thermodynamics and kinetics in multi-component mixtures. The complex free energy landscape of these systems usually leads to phase separation in equilibrium. However, crowding ... -
Flows and forces in the early development of an averaged zebrafish embryo. A novel analysis pipeline for the dynamics of embryogenesis.
(2025-06-26)Our current knowledge on collective cell phenomena such as wound healing, cancer invasion and embryogenesis heavily relies on biochemistry. However, new advances in the field of cell dynamics have shown how mechanosensing plays ... -
Bayesian Inference in Stochastic Biological Systems
(2025-06-26)Many biological systems, especially microscopic ones, are highly complex and chaotic, consisting of vast amounts and types of particles interacting via a wide variety of forces. This complexity renders an atomistic ... -
Dynamics of active condensation
(2025-06-12)Active matter represents a unique class of out-of-equilibrium systems, that are ubiquitous in our everyday life. Active particles convert energy into mechanical motion and this leads to collective self-organization into ... -
Nuclear Resonances in X-ray Waveguides
(2025-06-12)Hard X-rays generally only interact very weakly with matter, so that tissue, for example, is quite transparent to them. However, this makes the controlled manipulation of X-ray light particularly challenging. While many ... -
Nanoscale optoelectronic characterization of graphene-based heterostructures
(2025-06-11)The ongoing downscaling of electronic devices requires innovative approaches to probe and manipulate electronic behavior at the nanoscale. Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer a remarkable opportunity to directly explore ... -
Structure and Evolution of Visual Cortical Representations
(2025-05-28)Fully understanding the functions and mechanisms of the complex machinery that is our brain requires advanced statistical data analysis and theoretical modelling. In this thesis, I develop and apply statistical tools and ... -
Measurement of top quark pair production in association with charm quarks at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
(2025-05-28)The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has produced a uniquely large set of proton-proton collision data at never-before-seen energies since the beginning of its operation in 2010. Using data collected by the ATLAS detector ... -
Final Steps Towards Production of the ITk Pixel Detector for the ATLAS High Luminosity Upgrade
(2025-04-28)The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) upgrade to the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will bring an unprecedentedly challenging environment to the detectors, with an instantaneous luminosity of $5\times10^{34}\,\rm cm^{-2}s^{-1}$, ... -
Small-scale dynamics and large-scale stability of the outer solar atmosphere
(2025-04-14)The Sun has long been utilized as an observatory for gaining a better understanding of high-energy plasma physics. With the advent of the space age and the continual improvement of Sun-observing instruments, physicists ... -
Observation of four top quarks production and EFT interpretations in the multi-lepton final state with the ATLAS Experiment
(2025-03-27)The Standard Model has been remarkably successful in describing fundamental particles and their interactions. However its incompleteness makes the search for physics beyond the Standard Model one of the most important ... -
