Climate, ecosystems, agriculture, and food systems determine not only which biomass resources emerge across regions, but also the biological architectures and material opportunities they embody. In this presentation, biological matter is explored as a materials platform spanning plant tissues, fungal networks, marine organisms, and biomass-derived colloidal systems, with emphasis placed on how the organization and composition of such natural precursors can guide their engineering into sustainable material systems.<br>\r\nThemes of (i) biofabrication, using microbial precursors to generate guided assemblies across scales, (ii) natural fiber and bio-colloidal systems, considering their isolation and assembly into functional materials, and (iii) ecosystem integration, considering opportunities to address climatic and other environmental challenges, will be covered. Regarding the latter, examples including arid soil restoration, marine infrastructure remediation, and hybrid living materials are presented as case studies toward deployable systems. For bio-colloidal systems, their inherent advantages and limitations relative to synthetic colloidal systems will also be discussed.<br>\r\nUltimately, introducing sustainability into the material sector extends beyond precursor selection alone, as ecosystem integration and supply-chain considerations become increasingly critical – particularly as the regionalization of biomass circularization gains importance. The seminar concludes with a brief perspective on technology transfer and innovation as extensions of scientific research toward broader societal impact.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDr. Blaise Tardy joined Khalifa University in January 2022 as an Assistant Professor.

In this talk, I’ll introduce the idea of finite momentum Cooper pairing (FMCP) in systems with strong helical spin-momentum locking and how this can naturally give rise to non-reciprocity in superconducting critical currents namely the Josephson diode effect (JDE). I’ll describe our work establishing the presence of a large JDE due to FMCP in lateral Josephson junctions formed from centrosymmetric van der Waals type-II Dirac semimetals 1T-NiTe<sub>2</sub> and 1T-PtTe<sub>2</sub>. A theoretical analysis based on a Ginzburg-Landau type model suggests that the FMCP introduces a phase difference between the first (Cooper pair) and second (Cooper quartet) harmonic supercurrents, which manifests as the JDE. Measurements of the JDE as a function of the in-plane magnetic field and half-flux quantum oscillations in the JDE are in good agreement with the predictions, indicating the presence of large second harmonic supercurrents in the junction. Surface modifications are shown to strongly enhance the supercurrents in the junction, nearly by a factor of two, indicating the strong contribution of the topological surface states to the supercurrent transport. Overall, 1T systems provide an interesting platform for exploring the interplay of FMCP, JDE and topological superconductivity.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBio: Dr. Pranava Keerthi Sivakumar completed his Bachelors and Masters in Chemistry with a minor in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, India in 2017.

In particular, we will focus on hetero-aggregation-driven particle adsorption to fluid interfaces, which is crucial for to ensure stability of Pickering emulsions. By controlling particle interactions through parameters such as pH and particle concentration, the microstructure and rheological properties of PEs can be tailored to achieve excellent printability and shape retention during direct ink writing.

In this talk, I will present our recent advances in 3D single-molecule tracking of dynamics and super-resolution imaging of nanoscale structures throughout mammalian cells, and showcase applications of our approaches for cellular imaging. I will describe our developments of light sheet microscopy platforms that reduce fluorescence background, photobleaching, and the risk of photodamaging sensitive samples. Combined with point spread function (PSF) engineering for nanoscale localization of individual molecules in 3D, deep learning for analysis of overlapping emitters, and a novel 3D nanoprinted microfluidic chip for environmental control, these platforms enable whole-cell multi-target 3D single-molecule super-resolution imaging with improved accuracy, precision, and imaging speed. I will also highlight our recent developments and applications of dCas9-based labels that enable flexible, long-term tracking of endogenous, non-repetitive genomic loci in live human cells with excellent spatiotemporal resolution. Using this approach, we demonstrate correlative tracking of gene dynamics and transcription for improved understanding of gene regulation. I will further showcase studies of disease mechanisms and novel therapies for the premature aging disorder Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome. Together, these imaging technologies provide a versatile toolkit for quantitative studies of molecular dynamics, nanoscale structures, and molecular mechanisms, enabling new insights into a broad range of chemical, biological, and biomedical questions related to cellular function and pathogenesis.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio: </strong>Dr. Gustavsson joined the faculty at Rice University in 2020 as a CPRIT Scholar in Cancer Research and the Norman Hackerman-Welch Young Investigator Chair.
