"Imaging Science" at #Altana #Gallery includes our #hyperuniform structures! .@open_fet @TUD_Science @dcmsdresden @cfaed_TUD

This is the result of an amazing and fun ongoing collaboration between @tudresden_de @CityUHongKong @HKUniversity @UCIrvine . And many thanks to @dfg_public for generous funding and support along the way!. #ScienceResearch @dcmsdresden @DCIMdresden.

To demonstrate this, we employed fully classical (molecular dynamics) and diffusive-timescale (phase field crystal - example below) atomistic simulations and interpreted the results using Markov-chain Monte Carlo. We then obtained confirmation by targeted experiments!

The mobility of asymmetric GBs is found to depend on the sign of the driving force. This challenges and refines common knowledge while implying that oscillating driving forces and temperature field may induce directional motion, with a mechanism akin to #Brownian #ratchets

New in @ScienceMagazine our work "Grain boundaries are Brownian ratchets"🤩 We dived very deep into grain boundary (GB) kinetics and emerged with refining our understanding of how interfaces in polycrystals migrate and can be controlled #ScienceResearch.

I was deeply honored by the nomination as Emerging Leader by the #MSMSE editorial board and now even more with the Award! Thanks for considering our work and in particular for appreciating the connections between #PFC and #Gradient #Elasticity!.

Our results are relevant to #nonequilibrium #physics and the interpretation of #optimal strategies of #evasion and #foraging in biological contexts! Check out the findings and the discussions in the paper! (code & data available on #zenodo).

Out in #PNAS our work on the emergence of #hyperuniformity (HU) in #active #fluids. We used #continuum #modeling and connected HU to #active #turbulence, with implications for physical and biological systems. ⬇️. @tudresden_de @TUD_Science @dcmsdresden.

@TUD_Science @DCIMdresden @dcmsdresden.

The paper on the characterization of topology in #hyperuniform #patterns is now published in @PhysRevResearch 👇. Via #persistent #homology and #local #topological #neighborhoods, we unveiled key aspects for their detection, inverse design, and analysis/interpretation.

It's a true honor to have been selected for the Richard von Mises Prize '24, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to present my research to the entire #GAMM community! It has been great!.

This year the 11th Multiscale Materials Modeling (MMM) conference is in Prague 🤩 (CZ), Sept. 22-27! Join us at Symposium (I.) on "#Multiscale and #coarse-#grained #models of #surfaces and #interfaces" (- submission deadline 15.03). It will be great!.

Heading back from @uni_muenster after visiting the #CeNoS and the Institute of Theoretical Physics. Thanks for having me - what a place to study and discuss #pattern #formation!.

3/3 More details in the published version (arXiv preprint available): . Kudos to the amazing work by Caihao Qiu and the great collaboration with Jian Han and David Srolovitz. And thanks to @dfg_public for funding! @TUDresden_DE @dcmsdresden @DCIMdresden.

2/3 We devised a #continuum model for (multi-mode) interface disconnections (steps with dislocation character), reproducing atomistic simulation results. We also recast it in a simple phenomenological (Cahn-Taylor) model.

1/3 Our latest #research on fundamental mechanisms for #polycrystals (like most inorganic solids🪨) has been published in @PNASNews. We've uncovered that grain rotation in these materials follows from #disconnection flow during interface migration✨.

We connected #gradient-#elasticity to the theory of order-disorder phase transition .This follows from #Swift-#Hohenberg and #phase-#field #crystal models and completes the analysis of the elasticity naturally encoded therein! @TUD_Science @dcmsdresden.
