16. An Inexplicable Hunger – flutist)body(flute (dis)encounters
Abstract : This doctoral research is structured by singular encounters, that happened between 2014 and 2018. Together with a series of collaborators, I have developed a critical and poetic methodology through what I call “mixture”, “contamination” and the practice of “un-goaling”, in which my “flutist-body-flute” relation encounters the practices of other artists.

17. Cardiovascular structure and function in obesity. The impact of body composition, sleep apnea and sustained weight loss
Abstract : Background: Obesity is associated with disturbances in cardiovascular structure and function varying along with the degree of fatness, but the mechanisms underlying this co-variation are unclear. Short-term weight loss appears to have favourable effects on the cardiovascular system, but whether such improvements are maintained in the long run is unknown. READ MORE

18. Structure and function of relaxins
Abstract : The relaxin/insulin superfamily is a group of peptide hormones that consists of ten members in human, namely relaxins 1-3, insulin-like peptides (INSL) 3-6, insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGF) I-II. These peptides have various functions in the body, such as regulating growth, blood glucose levels, collagen metabolism, germ cell maturation and appetite. READ MORE

19. Theory of electronic structure and transport in heterostructure nanowires
Abstract : Today, semi-conductor nanowires can be grown with very high precision, using epitaxy. This allows for studies of new nanowire-based quantum devices, likely to be part of novel quantum technologies in the future. This thesis concerns nanostructures based on InAs nanowires. READ MORE

20. Thermoelectric plastics: Structure-property relationships of P3HT
Abstract : The advancing development of inter-connected small devices, so-called Internet of Things is increasing the demand for independent power sources. Heat is an abundant and often wasted source of energy, thermoelectric generators could be used to harvest this waste energy. Small devices such as heart-rate monitors or gas sensors etc. READ MORE
