Polarity establishment, the formation of a front and back, is fundamental to many cellular processes. Two examples where cell polarization plays a central role are during migration and the budding process of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast). Key signaling proteins involved polarity establishment are the Rho GTPases, which act as molecular switch...

We address in this talk some practical issues that occur in the design of (optimal) control field that manipulate quantum phenomena.After discussing modelization issues (which functional to optimize, to what goal it corresponds etc) several algorithms will be discussed: genetic/evolutionary algorithm, adjoint state (optimal control) approaches a...

Quantum Chemistry aims at understanding the properties of matter through the modelling of its behaviour at a subatomic scale, where matter is described as an assembly of nuclei and electrons.At this scale, the equation that rules the interactions between these constitutive elements is the Schrdinger equation. It can be considered (except in few ...

Brain tissue is an inhomogeneous, layered, multi-phase, and multi-functional material made of interconnected neural, glial, and vascular networks, and is immersed in the cerebrospinal fluid. In order to advance our understanding of how the brain provides its functions, we need to develop a robust controlled feedback engineering framework that us...

Mathematical models are enabling advances in increasingly complex areas of engineering and technology. Recent developments in multiscale geometrical modeling have opened the way to progress in modeling such complex systems as the human circulatory system and the climate system. Professor Quarteroni leads a team which has harnessed mathematical m...

During interphase chromosomes are confined to sub-nuclear regions called chromosome territories. The position of these territories has been associated with a number of biological processes such as cell differentiation and transcription. Furthermore the relative position of chromosomes is believed to have a very important role in the formation of...

In the last decades, advances in pulse shaping techniques have openedup the possibility of manipulation of systems whose evolution followsthe laws of quantum mechanics. Moreover, novel applications, such as inquantum information processing, have offered further motivation forthis study.From a mathematical point of view, the field which is now kn...

Traditional' hydrodynamic stability studies infer stability of a flow froma computation of eigenvalues of the linearized system. While this is welljustified for the Navier-Stokes equations, no rigorous result along these linesis known for general systems of partial differential equations; indeed there arecounterexamples for lower order perturbat...
