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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"biography\"\n    >\nBiography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. 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, G\u00f6ttingen, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/events\/inaugural-lecture-prof-anupam-sengupta-life-a-paradox-of-order-amidst-disorder\/calendar\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Add to calendar<\/a>\n<\/li>\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/01\/Poster-Inaugural-lecture-Anupam-Sengupta.pdf\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Download the poster<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":7159,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2024-03-26 17:30:00","event_end_date":"2024-03-26 20:00:00","event_speaker_name":"Prof. Anupam Sengupta","event_speaker_link":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person\/NTAwMzEzODBfX0FudXBhbSBTRU5HVVBUQQ==\/","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"Universit\u00e9 du Luxembourg, Belval campus, Maison du Savoir, room 3.350","event_street":"2, place de l'Universit\u00e9","event_location_link":"","event_zip_code":"4365","event_city":"Esch-sur-Alzette","event_country":"Luxembourg"},"events-topic":[315],"events-type":[324],"organisation":[80,29],"authorship":[51],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
