Abstract Viruses likely represent the most diverse part of the biosphere; nevertheless, a large part of their diversity is still unknown. Viromics approaches, based on high-throughput sequencing, enable the studies of virus diversity inside and outside of their hosts, in … Read More

I will present a minimal Grand Unified Theory model, based on an SU(5) gauge symmetry and a global U(1) Peccei-Quinn symmetry, that predicts the existence of an ultralight axion dark matter within a narrow mass range between 0.1 neV and … Read More

Vesicles are of great research interest as they not only form naturally but are also artificially produced as liposomes, primarily used as a drug (including vaccines) delivery mechanism, owning to their biocompatibility with the cell membrane. An essential step of … Read More

I will talk about the work accomplished for two years of my PhD. First, I will explain the simulations of the interaction between the spike protein and human skin. Using all-atom (AA) simulations we showed which are the relevant residues … Read More

Respiratory viruses are airborne and commonly form microdroplets which can be easily adsorbed onto surfaces of different materials, like plastics, metals or skin. Although these situations occur on a daily basis, less is known about the mechanisms and effectiveness of … Read More

The seminar will take place in the seminar room of physics (106).

In this seminar, I will discuss recent efforts to assess the complementarity of direct searches at fixed target experiments and searches for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay in probing the Majorana vs. pseudo-Dirac nature of a Heavy Neutral Lepton (HNL) … Read More

Studies of dark matter lie at the interface of collider physics, astrophysics and cosmology, and they entail comparisons with a wide spectrum of data. We consider an effective top-philic t-channel model of dark matter, which finds some motivation in composite … Read More
