Advanced Biomolecular Controllers for Inflammation Regulation in Mammalian Systems
(2024)Homeostasis, a critical physiological process, enables living organisms to sustain stable internal environments, thereby ensuring their survival and optimal functioning amidst fluctuating external conditions. At its core, this dynamic equilibrium is crucially governed by the immune system, which deploys an extensive array of cellular and molecular entities to safeguard the organism from pathogenic threats, while concurrently maintaining ...Doctoral Thesis -
Instanton Theory of Tunnelling in Asymmetric Systems and Vibrationally-Excited States
(2024)Quantum tunnelling is a ubiquitous phenomenon, relevant to many fields such as astrochemistry and biochemistry. It can result in larger-than-expected reaction rates, or a splitting of vibrational energy levels ∆ν . In this thesis, we shall specifically focus on the calculation of ∆ν . The conceptually simplest approach in which one can calculate ∆ν is by fully solving the Schrödinger equation on a grid. This however is a computationally ...Doctoral Thesis -
Vivianite formation and transformation processes in intertidal sediments and the influence of isomorphic substitution
(2024)Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for primary production, yet excessive concentrations can lead to eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems. The chemical form in which P is associated within sediments impacts its bioavailability. Under reducing, non-sulfidic conditions, the ferrous phosphate mineral vivianite can play a substantial role in P sequestration in coastal sediments, positively affecting water quality. Despite vivianite's ...Doctoral Thesis -
Transient and Frequency-Domain Simulation of Mixed Electronic-Ionic Charge Transport in Thin-Film Devices
(2024)Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite compounds have established themselves as the most promising one among the emerging photovoltaic technologies, reaching efficiencies of 26.1% for single-junction and 33.9% for perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. Perovskites are mixed electronic-ionic conductors, leading to characteristic measurement results, like e.g. current-voltage hysteresis or large capacitance at low frequencies, caused by the ...Doctoral Thesis -
