The control over the self-assembly of complex structures is a long-standing challenge of biomimetic nanotechnology, as the desired assembly pathway is often kinetically derailed by the formation of competing alternative structures or amorphous aggregates. The goal of inverse design problem … Read More

I will motivate the use of E6 grand unified theory and describe a  realistic E6 GUT which gives rise to novel possible intermediate stages.  https://indico.ijs.si/event/2874/

KCNN4 is a calcium (Ca)-activated potassium (K+) channel translocating K+ ions across several cellular membranes and for which Ca2+ sensitivity is conferred by calmodulin (CaM). Until the main part of the protein structure bound to CaM has been resolved, in … Read More

Early embryonic development from zygote to blastocyst is a highly dynamic, self-organised process in which stem cells undergo successive cell fate decisions and form a complex structure. Local patterns in the early and mid blastocyst stage resolve into global patterns … Read More

Numerous well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model, notably models linked to the generation of neutrino masses and to searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay, predict the existence of lepton-number-violating (LNV) processes. In particular, the type II seesaw and the left-right symmetric … Read More

Micro- and nanoplastics have emerged as persistent and pervasive pollutants, raising concerns across environmental and biological systems. In this talk, I will show how we can use ideas from soft matter physics, especially colloid and interface science, to better understand … Read More

Neutrino self-interaction with a larger “Fermi constant” is often resorted for understanding puzzles of our universe. I will first discuss how novel neutrino self-interactions can save the sterile neutrino dark matter produced through early universe oscillation mechanism, which is otherwise … Read More
