Scientific measurements often yield data that are mixtures of signal and one or more background components. When class templates (e.g., simulation-based priors) are biased or imprecise, they are typically treated as nuisance systematics. We take a different route: by embedding … Read More

Protein-protein interactions control how proteins behave in solution, dictating aggregation, crystallization, phase separation, and the colloidal stability of formulations central to pharmacology, food science, and biotechnology. Predicting this behavior has long been difficult: theories borrowed from classical colloid science fail … Read More

In my talk, I will present the so-called slingshot effect. It represents a general phenomenon that occurs when a localized source, such as a magnetic monopole, quark, or a D-brane, crosses a wall separating the confined (Higgsed) and unconfined (Coulomb) … Read More

Partitioning space into cells with certain extreme geometrical properties is a central problem in many fields of science and technology. Here we investigate the Quantizer problem, defined as the optimisation of the moment of inertia of Voronoi cells, i.e., similarly-sized … Read More

The lyotropic liquid crystals formed by amphiphiles include lamellar and cylindrical phases with smectic A and columnar order, respectively, representing both 2D and 1D layered liquids. Bicontinuous networks form at intermediate compositions and consist of liquid-like interfaces, combining both layer … Read More

Two-dimensional vertex models have been used extensively to study and simulate the mechanical behavior of monolayer tissues, a simplified approach that allows for detailed study of structure and disorder in large systems. Morphological indicators from the structure are then taken … Read More
