Active superelasticity in three-dimensional epithelia of controlled shape 

    Latorre Ibars, Ernest (Date of defense: 2021-02-19)

    Fundamental processes in development and physiology are determined by the three-dimensional architecture of epithelial sheets. How these sheets deform and fold into complex structures has remained unclear, however, because ...

    Machine learning in multiscale modeling and simulations of molecular systems 

    Hashemian, Behrooz (Date of defense: 2015-05-08)

    Collective variables (CVs) are low-dimensional representations of the state of a complex system, which help us rationalize molecular conformations and sample free energy landscapes with molecular dynamics simulations. ...
