Visualizations of particle-field interactions
(2022)Visualizations within physics education are critical for learning physics and can be realized in a classroom with experiments, demonstrations, digital tools, mathematical analysis, or other representations, all with ... -
The versatility of optical levitation
(University of Gothenburg / Göteborgs universitet, 2022)The breadth of applications of optical tweezers in life sciences is so large, that it merited Arthur Ashkin a Nobel prize in 2018. Although optical levitation in air was invented first, it has not managed to be so widely ... -
Smart microswimmers in complex flows
(2022)Zooplankton are playing a pivotal role in balancing the life on Earth. By grazing on phytoplankton and then serving as food source to larger aquatic animals, they pave the way of redistributing the Sun’s energy and ... -
Dynamics of particles in fluids: effects of correlations and interactions
(2022-01-24)Particles suspended in turbulent fluid flows are common in Nature and in technological applications. In some cases, the relative dynamics of spherical particles may be of interest. One example is small rain droplets in ... -
Mixing and Evaporation at the Cloud Edge and Angular Dynamics of Small Crystals in Viscous Flow
(2022-01-19)How liquid water in atmospheric clouds distributes over droplets of different sizes is important for the initiation of rainfall, and for the optical properties of the atmosphere. Droplet-number densities and droplet-size ... -
Frequency comb Brillouin microscopy
(2021-10-26)Brillouin light scattering (BLS), an almost a century-old technique, has evolved into a powerful and versatile method to study acoustic and magnetic phenomena down to the nanometer size scale. Presently, BLS can be applied ... -
Development and Applications of Microfluidic Devices for Liver-on-a-Chip Studies
(2021-10-12)Modeling the human physiology in vitro is a challenging task, yet one of importance for the development of drugs and the study of diseases. To better address the complexities of human organs, microfluidic systems called ... -
Thermodynamics of microscopic environments: From anomalous diffusion to heat engines
(2021-05-17)Till skillnad från deras makroskopiska motsvarigheter utvecklas inte mikroskopiska system deterministiskt på grund av inverkan från termiskt brus. Sådana system är föremål för fluktuationer som endast kan studeras inom ... -
Deep Learning Applications - From image analysis to medical diagnosis
(2021-05-11)Deep learning is a subcategory of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Instead of using explicit rules to perform a desired task as in standard algorithmic approaches, machine-learning algorithms autonomously learn ... -
Active Matter in a Critical State: From passive building blocks to active molecules, engines and droplets
(2020-12-19)The motion of microscopic objects is strongly affected by their surrounding environment. In quiescent liquids, motion is reduced to random fluctuations known as Brownian motion. Nevertheless, microorganisms have been able ... -
A Play of Light and Spins: Excitation and Detection of Non-linear Magnetization Dynamics using Light
(2020-09-02)The excitation and detection of magnetization dynamics play key roles in the field of spintronics and magnonics. In this thesis, we investigate a contactless method of exciting nonlinear magnetization dynamics using a ... -
Symmetry-protected topological phases: From Floquet theory to machine learning
(2020-08-18)It is by now a well known fact that boundary states in conventional time-independent topological insulators are protected against perturbations that preserve relevant symmetries. In the first part of this thesis, ... -
Spectroscopic studies of the negative state of atoms
(2020-08-13)Negative ions are of fundamental interest in atomic physics due to the enhanced importance of the electron correlation. In this thesis new spectroscopic methods have been developed and then applied to study the nature of ... -
Fluctuating superconductivity and pair-density wave order in the cuprate superconductors
(2020-05-19)High-temperature superconductors are some of nature’s most enigmatic materials. Besides carrying a supercurrent, these materials manifest a range of electronic and structural orders. A state of modulated superconductivity, ... -
Dynamics and Structure of Negative Ions - Photoinduced double detachment on nano- and femtosecond time scales
(2020-05-05)The goal of the presented work is to investigate double detachment of negative ions on nano- and femtosecond time scales. I have performed three types of experiments. Femtosecond time resolved pump-probe experiments ... -

On the phase-space distribution of heavy particles in turbulence
(2020-01-03)Turbulent fluids laden with small, heavy particles are common in nature. Prominent examples of such turbulent suspensions are water droplets in warm clouds, as well as particulate matter or living organisms in the turbulent ... -
Metabolic communication between individual yeast cells
(2019-11-01)With the recent progress in sensitive cell manipulation and microfabrication techniques, glycolytic oscillations in yeast have been observed at a single-cell level. It was shown that individually, oscillating cells could ... -
