Multiscale probing of colloidal gelation dynamics
… the evolution of microscopic structure and dynamics of home-made colloidal particles in the early phase of gelation, by extending the applicability of Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM) to non-ergodic media. We demonstrate uncoupled development of the structure and dynamics that reveals …

Microscopic characterization of macroscopic colloidal gel rheology
… rheological properties. The state of thermodynamic nonequilibrium and the structural disorder of the network due to kinetic arrest of the attractive particles call for comprehensive investigation of colloidal gel rheology. In this thesis, we develop a better physical understanding of key …

Polymorphism of Protein Condensates
… include the kinetically determined size, thermodynamically controlled number, and their distinct nature from aggregation triggered by reduction of the intramolecular S−S bonds and amyloid aggregates. We investigated the role of protein structural flexibility on its ability to induce formation of …

RNA-MEDIATED PHASE SEPARATION OF 53BP1: CONNECTING CONDENSATE BIOPHYSICS TO DNA DAMAGE RESPONSE
… By combining computational analyses, in vitro microscopy, and binding assays, we demonstrate that the oligomerization domain (OD) and its C-terminal disordered region containing a glycine-arginine-rich (GAR) motif are essential for phase separation. Mutagenesis experiments revealed that …

Hydrodynamic interactions of complex fluids and fibrous media
Hydrodynamic interactions of fluids and fibers are encountered in many applications, from filtration processes to the development of novel materials such as nanofluids and nanocomposites, and even in biological systems such as transport of fluids in plants and tissues. It is therefore, valuable …

Multivalent Programmable Interactions Between Lipid Vesicles: Towards Responsive Soft Materials
… mechanical model. In Chapter 5 we use Differential Dynamic Microscopy to study the dynamics of a thermoreversible gel consisting of diffusive attractive soft colloids (large unimlamellar vesicles functionalised with complementary DNA constructs), and fit the dynamics with a …

Understanding the Collective Dynamics of Motile Cilia in Human Airways
… clearance apparatus. Chapter 2 introduces Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM), a powerful and versatile image analysis tool that bridges the gap between spectroscopy and microscopy by allowing to perform scattering experiments on a microscope. The most interesting aspects of DDM for this …
