    • Computational studies of semiflexible polymer translocation in nanopore systems 

      Kastritis, Konstantinos (2019-08-01)
      The translocation of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) through nanopore systems is a field with rich physics and many promising technological applications. Double stranded DNA is not fully flexible, and the translocation dynamics ...
    • Empirically detecting colour: can we use solar cells as colour sensors? 

      Majluf Suárez, Sergio (2021-08-01)
      The purpose of this thesis was to explore the possibility of using solar cells as a colour sensor. Colour sensors already exist, yet they are either costly or fail at correctly sensing monochromatic light. Our experiment ...
    • Perpetually playing physics 

      Beeler, Chris (2019-08-01)
      Here we discuss ideas of reinforcement learning and the importance of various aspects of it. We show how reinforcement learning methods based on genetic algorithms can be used to reproduce thermodynamic cycles without prior ...
