Speaker: Anton Malko Title: Heralded Photons and Stimulated Emission Using Colloidal Semiconductor Quantum Shells Abstract: Spherically shaped semiconductor nanoplatelets, called quantum shells (QSs) have recently attracted considerable attention as they exhibit strongly suppressed Auger recombination, ultralong biexciton (BX) lifetimes and broad gain bandwidth. However, no applications that demonstrate true lasing action using QSs in optical cavity configurations have…

Title: Flow, Fluctuate and Freeze: Modeling Collective Cell Motion Using Soft Active Matter Abstract: Active or living materials are made out of agents that can move on their own, such as birds, fish, or artificial systems such as robots or active colloids. Cells are a core active material, and the two-dimensional tissues known as epithelial…

Title: Self-assembly Across Scales: From Cytoskeletal Dynamics to Evolution of Multicellularity Abstract: Self-assembly is a fundamental process that drives organization and function across biological systems, from molecular complexes to multicellular structures. In this talk, I will present our recent research on the role of self-assembly in actin cytoskeletal dynamics and the evolution of multicellularity. At…
