Relaxation and Spontaneous Ordering in Systems with Competition
Spontaneous order happens in non-equilibrium systems composed of interacting elements. This phenomenon manifests in both the formation of space-time patterns in reaction-diffusion systems and collective rhythmic behaviors in coupled oscillators. In this thesis, we present the results of two …

Investigation of ordered shell nanoparticles as catalytic platforms for organic synthesis
… previous work has discovered a general, spontaneous ordering of long, aliphatic molecules on the surfaces of nanoparticles. This ordering generates stripe-like domains, termed ripple domains, which have widths less than a nanometer and well-defined spatial separations. This structuring …

The Shape of Soft Matter: Geometry and Defects
… does shape emerge at macroscopic scales from the spontaneous self-organization of building blocks at smaller scales? In this thesis, I will address this question in the context of closed soft two-dimensional membranes with internal order. Soft matter represents a good arena to identify simple …
