Spring School

Discover the program

The Spring School will include 4 sessions, each consisting of two plenary talks (45 minutes each) followed by a 15-minute Q&A. Each session will take place over half a day.

1. Structure and thermodynamics of soft interfaces (emphasis on bio- and liquid interfaces)

  • Biointerfaces and biomembranes assembly and energetics
  • Molecules folding
  • self-assembly
  • Mechanical deformation of cells
  • Molecular arrangement at liquid interfaces

2. Mechanics of soft matter: viscoelasticity, diffusion and deformation across scales
Main forces across scales: the structure of soft matter

  • Deformation: viscous vs elastic vs viscoelastic (molecular level and macroscopic)
  • Timescale of deformation and rearrangement in soft matter
  • Basics of diffusion (Einstein, biaised diffusion etc)

3. Basics of Electrochemical measurements at the nanoscale

  • Introduction to electrochemical processes
  • Nanoscale vs macroscale electrochemistry
  • Experimental approaches

4. Microscopy techniques: a practical overview of what they can and cannot do

  • Simulation – 30min
  • Super-resolution – 30min
  • Standard EM – 30min
