"Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Gas Sensors: Gas Source Localization with a Nano-Drone". Javier Burgués, Signal and information processing for sensing systems group Chemical source localization (CSL) by autonomous robots has been a topic of research since the early 1990s and still today remains elusive beyond simple scenarios. It has numerous potential applications, such as ... Read more

Control of integrin-mediated mechanoresponse by binding partners and force loading rates Víctor González Tarragó, Cellular and Molecular Mechanobiology group This thesis is a study on the integrin-mediated mechanoresponse by binding partners and force loading rates. Regarding the binding partners, here we demonstrate an alternative and counter-intuitive mechanism, by which another adaptor protein (ZO-1) promotes activation ... Read more

Active forces driving spreading and retraction of living tissues Carlos Pérez González, Integrative Cell and Tissue Dynamics group Development, regeneration and cancer involve drastic transitions in tissue morphology. In analogy with the behaviour of inert fluids, some of these transitions have been interpreted as wetting transitions. The validity and scope of this analogy are unclear, ... Read more
