Abstract: The growth areas of energy conversion and storage in particular have created a massive demand for new active materials in recent years. In the field of heterogeneous catalysis, transition metal compounds are of particular interest, if only for reasons of sustainability and availability.

Abstract: This talk explores innovative methods for understanding complex systems, highlighting three distinct yet complementary approaches. First, we address the decoupling problem and explore its connections to tensor-based techniques, emphasizing recent advancements and open challenges in decoupling multivariate functions.

Abstract: Multi-physics processes - such as heat flow, fluid dynamics, and electrical systems - are naturally described by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). These mathematical models capture how physical quantities change over both space and time.

Abstract: Instability driven turbulence is fed by inherently virulent sources: instabilities typically grow exponentially and would diverge to infinity were there no nonlinearity. In turbulence the key nonlinear process is spectral transfer, i.e., energy transfer between scales.

Abstract: In the domain of terahertz communications and broadband terahertz spectroscopy, practical applications require the development of miniaturized devices that are high-speed, power-efficient, and sensitive. I will highlight latest innovations, present obstacles, and future possibilities concerning integrated nonlinear photonic devices for optical-terahertz applications.
