We introduce branching cells for Asymmetric Event Structures. They provide a way to decompose maximal configuration in a dynamic way through elementary steps representing elementary choices made during a computation run.

This thesis will present a theoretical and numerical analysis of optical systems exhibiting non-reciprocity, with potential applications in the field of integrated opto-electronic circuits. We will carefully engineer structures with highly-asymmetric transport properties, where traits such as reflectance and transmittance are dependent upon the incident direction of the interrogating waves.

This work evaluated the possibility of using silicon solar cells as load-carrying elements in composite sandwich structures. Such an ultra-light multifunctional structure is a new concept enabling weight, and thus energy, to be saved in high-tech applications such as solar cars, solar planes or satellites. Composite sandwich structures with a weight of 800 g/m were developed, based on one 140 l...

Self-assembling minimalistic peptides embedded with an organocatalytic moiety were designed. By controlling the formation of fibrils via external intervention, it was shown that activation is accelerated when organocatalyst in its supramolecular state. The effect catalysis demonstrated a Michael benchmark reaction.
