Kumar, Nikhil P. (Fecha de defensa: 2017-07-13)
Recent advancement in Photonics have brought about a new era of miniaturisation. Along came a need for technology to allow the manipulation of light at the micrometer scale, with precise control over beam propagation. The ...
Ahmed, Waqas Waseem (Fecha de defensa: 2018-04-17)
The quest for new artificial structures and materials uncovers novel new light-matter interactions, and intriguing physical phenomena. Since the late 80’s purely dielectric materials have been structured, at the wavelength-scale, ...
Ho, Chih-Hua (Fecha de defensa: 2016-03-14)
Both experimental and numerical studies on Liquid Crystal (LC) infiltrated woodpile Photonic Crystal (PhC) are implemented in this thesis. The most well-known optical phenomenon of PhC is photonic bandgap (PBG). It is ...
Henao Aristizábal, Andrés (Fecha de defensa: 2016-09-23)
Many materials of scientific interest show a disordered phase, with their molecules presenting positional disorder, orientational disorder or both. Processes of interest to life also occur in these kind of phases as it is ...

Each year 10 million people die from communicable diseases. They are infectious diseases caused by agents transmitted between individuals. Nowadays, the two infectious diseases that have the greatest impact are tuberculosis ...
Dornelles, Leonardo dalla Porta (Fecha de defensa: 2022-10-07)
The brain, a natural adaptive system, can generate a rich dynamic repertoire of spontaneous activity even in the absence of stimulation. The spatiotemporal pattern of this spontaneous activity is determined by the brain ...
Marchena Angos, Miquel (Fecha de defensa: 2020-07-23)
The heart beating is produced by the synchronization of the cardiac cells' contraction. A dysregulation in this mechanism may produce episodes of abnormal heart contraction. The origin of these abnormalities often lies at ...
Herrera, Yago (Fecha de defensa: 2021-12-15)
The study of stellar winds (SW) in the context of X-ray bursts (XRB) performed in this thesis has two main motivating issues. The first is whether or not the heavy elements produced from nucleosynthesis in XRBs can escape ...
