Multiscale modelling and statistical inference of tumour initiation and evolution in neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumour of early childhood and, in its aggressive forms, remains hard to treat. These tumours arise when embryonic cells - trunk neural crest cells and their derivatives - fail to differentiate correctly. Read more

Algorithms for Collective Decision Making: Voting and Coalition Formation

How can we design voting rules that represent diverse preferences fairly? When can individuals form stable and mutually beneficial coalitions? How can algorithms support cooperation in societies shaped by competing interests? This PhD project explores these questions through computational social choice and algorithmic game theory, at the interface of theoretical computer science and economics. Read more

Modulated Fourier expansions for time-varying media

Time-modulated media, whose material properties change rapidly in time, are opening up new ways to control waves. They make possible frequency conversion, parametric amplification, non-reciprocal transport and “temporal crystals” with momentum band gaps. Read more
