Evaluation of hormones as potential new treatments for obesity and diabetes

  Research Group: Medicine
Glucoregulatory peptides such as X, Y and Z have demonstrated promising effects on glucose metabolism and appetite regulation in preclinical models and thus may offer novel therapeutic avenues for metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity. 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

Regularized dynamical parametric approximations for gradient flows

Parametric integrators approximate solutions of (high-dimensional) partial differential equations by restricting the numerical approximation to a closed form that nonlinearly depends on, and is identified by, a set of parameters. Read more
