SUMMARY:Inaugural lecture Prof. Anupam Sengupta "LIFE: a paradox of order amidst disorder"
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural lecture of Prof. Anupam Sengupta from the Department of Physics and Materials Science (DPhyMS) will take place on 26 March 2024 at 17:30 in Belval (Maison du Savoir, room 3.350). He will present his research about LIFE "Living In Fluctuating Environments".\n\nProgramme\n\n17.30 Introduction\n\n17.35 Lecture by Prof. Anupam Sengupta\n\n18.15 Questions and Answers\n\n18.30 Cocktail\n\nAbstract\n\nLIFE "Living In Fluctuating Environments" is a paradoxical quest for claiming order where there might exist none. Over the last years cross-disciplinary approaches developed by us and elsewhere have allowed us to not only detect order-and thereby engineer biological processes and systems-but also predict future scenarios with reliable degree of accuracy. After a short introduction to the tools and techniques we develop, I will present some of our key discoveries spanning life-giving aquatic algae and pathogenic biofilms to tumors and cancer tissues. In closing, I will touch upon future challenges and how understanding LIFE could help ideate sustainable bio-based solutions in anticipation of a resource-limited society of the future.\n\nBiography\n\nProf. Anupam Sengupta is an FNR-ATTRACT Fellow and Head of the Physics of Living Matter Group at the Department of Physics and Materials Science since 2018. Before joining the University, Prof. Sengupta was a Human Frontier Cross-Disciplinary Fellow, first at the MIT (Cambridge, USA) and then at the ETH Zurich (Switzerland); and held a Marie-Curie Doctoral Fellowship during his PhD studies at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Göttingen, Germany. His multidisciplinary team combines material physics, microbiology, mathematical modelling and machine learning to understand how living systems respond and adapt to dynamic environmental conditions. Currently, Prof. Sengupta is a member of the Institute for Advanced Studies and Course Director of the Bachelor in Physics at the University of Luxembourg.\n\nRead more: https://www.uni.lu/fstm-en/events/inaugural-lecture-prof-anupam-sengupta-life-a-paradox-of-order-amidst-disorder/
