Machine learning for membrane simulations

The proposed research aims to apply the capabilities of machine learning to study molecular models of cell membranes. Cell membranes are composed of fluid lipid bilayers with a highly dynamic nature. By developing neural network models for the simulation of lipid bilayers, we seek to overcome the shortcomings of current computational methods, providing superior accuracy […]

Low-temperature spectroscopy and quantum memory in molecular lanthanide crystals

Applications of quantum communication and computers range from cybersecurity to vastly increased computational capability. In most realizations of these, Quantum Memory (QM) is a key component. A promising platform for QM is Rare-Earth-Ion doped materials (characterized by their unique long-lived and well-isolated electronic states), with crystals made of molecular complexes being a recent appealing sub-category. […]

Dynamics of single P. aeruginosa cells under shear during biofilm formation

The proposed project involves the use of a combination of two techniques i.e., rheology, confocal microscopy and image analysis, aimed at understanding the physics of bacterial cells at interfaces. Given the fact that the interactions and the interplay of forces are complicated at interfaces, the proposed study can provide significantly valuable insights into the dynamics […]

Specificity of the cAMP-PKA signalling pathway during thermotolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The proposed research project aims to investigate how Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a microorganism commonly used in the food and biofuel industry, responds to changes in temperature and manages to withstand high temperatures. Yeast cells face various types of stress as the environment conditions change, both in natural situations and during industrial processes. S. cerevisiae has developed […]

Photogrammetric speech motor control assessment

Speech sound disorders (SSDs) are an umbrella term for a range of speech difficulties characterised by a constellation of deficits. Identifying SSD subtypes can be supported by objectively analysing the child’s speech and facial movement patterns (kinematics). However, these movements can only be precisely and specifically measured using specialised instrumentation and software limited to the […]
