Tibau Martorell, Elisenda (Date of defense: 2017-09-15)
In the present thesis, we propose to explore neuronal circuits at the mesoscale, an approach in which one monitors small populations of few thousand neurons and concentrates in the emergence of collective behavior. In our ...
Fernández i Gallén, Andreu (Date of defense: 2022-07-08)
Membranes are present in all cells, in some viruses, and are involved in all kinds of biological functions. The goal of this thesis is to expand our knowledge of this element, in hope that this -on top of all the other ...
Conde Rubio, Ana (Date of defense: 2018-09-13)
This thesis is devoted to the nanofabrication, simulation and optical characterization of different plasmonic nanostructures. When an electromagnetic wave reaches a metallic nanostructure, it can give rise to collective ...
Cereceda López, Eric (Date of defense: 2023-07-14)
[eng] In this thesis, I study the behavior of confined colloidal particles in aqueous suspension driven through an optical potential. For this purpose, I use micro-meter polystyrene particles, which I confine in the optical ...
Mercadal Melià, Josep (Date of defense: 2022-06-16)
The development of living systems, from their conception to their death, involves a very tight coordination between gene expression in time and space. The processes involved in such an unfolding do not solely depend on the ...
Massana-Cid, Helena (Date of defense: 2019-12-11)
In this thesis we investigate the structure formation and the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of driven and active magnetic colloids. The interactions in our system were tuned in situ by using external fields, with the aim of ...
Arauz-Garofalo, Gianluca (Date of defense: 2017-06-13)
Throughout this thesis we have assessed the prospects of microwave spectrometry (MWS) as a non-ionizing non-invasive monitoring alternative for stented patients in a very early proof-of-concept stage. In Chapter 1 we have ...
Walther, Jürgen (Date of defense: 2019-10-04)
The study of DNA from atomistic to mesoscopic level and connecting different resolution levels constitutes a major challenge since the new millennium. In the early 2000s, experiments could resolve for the first time the ...
Luna Escalante, Juan Camilo (Date of defense: 2016-10-14)
Intercellular signalling is a mechanism by which cells communicate and mediate coordinated responses. In this Thesis we perform theoretical and computational analyses to evaluate spatio-temporal organizations that can arise ...
Latella, Ivan (Date of defense: 2016-06-27)
Two main topics are examined in this thesis: classical systems with long-range interactions and thermal radiation in the near-field regime. In the first part, we present a thermodynamic approach describing systems with ...
