Was great to be at the International Workshop from the
16 - 20 February, discussing topics that range "From Adaptive to Active Wetting Dynamics". It was an amazing interdisciplinary workshop and a big thank you to all the organisers and the participants for fruitful discussions. @mpipks.bsky.social
We are very proud of Dr. Ivar Haugerud for successfully defending his PhD thesis at the University of Augsburg in December 2025. We wish him all the best in his post-doc position back in Oslo with Prof. Andreas Carlson at the University of Oslo. @uio.no 🥂🍾🎉
Congrats to Dr.
@ivarhaugerud.bsky.social
who just defended his PhD AND published in PNAS his work studying how droplets influence polymerization of sequences, while, in turn, sequence polymerization affects droplet dynamics! With

Can prebiotic chemistry harvest energy from cyclic environments?
We explore how oscillating reservoirs can drive chemical systems to extract power. Revealing resonance regimes for optimal harvest.

New pre-print with Jacqueline Janssen and Frank Jülicher! We extend the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner (LSW) theory by matter supply, and find a novel universal law governing coarsening kinetics, valid for any constant matter supply in the interface-resistance-limited regime.

Congratulations again @larshubatsch.bsky.social and @daxiaosun.bsky.social! Was great to catch up with you'll and look forward to seeing you'll soon. Wish you'll the best! 🤞
Was a great opportunity to be part of this year's GBM Compact: Focus on Condensate Biology Conference and the SPP2191 Satellite Meeting in Frankfurt this year! A huge thanks to the organisers.

Wish you all the best in Barca @ricardalert.bsky.social ! 🤞
Great to see the role of phase separation in the culinary world being recognised. 🧀🍝 A huge congratulations to @gbart.bsky.social and collaborators!
Daje @gbart.bsky.social and all the people involved in this investigation! 🧀
Love to see the glory and recognition that a good "Cacio e Pepe" pasta deserves. 🤝

Was super fun to host the Michaels Group from ETH for a collaborative visit last week. 🤝 As a coincidental bonus, we celebrated the Autumn Augsburg Plärrer Folkfestival together with lots of laughs, drinks and great discussions. 🍻
Was super fun being at the @m-pol.bsky.social retreat and looking forward to next year. 🫕🔬⛰️🤓

New preprint out 🔥🔥 on my postdoc work with @manuelthery.bsky.social and @lblanchoin.bsky.social about how we can create sustained dynamic steady states of actin network inside microscopic wells that contract "forever" without collapsing! A thread 🧵

Excited to share our new JACS paper "Controlling Multiphase Coacervate Wetting and Self‑Organization by Interfacial Proteins"
Together with our fantastic collaborators @spruijtlab.bsky.social l we show how surface-active proteins tune condensate architecture and organization.
Was a great week at the #DPG Spring Meeting in #Regensburg this year! With a lots of great talks and posters from the community. @advait-thatte.bsky.social, Susanne Liese and Christoph spoke about some of the research done in our group. Looking forward to next year's meeting! 🧪🔬
We are organizing a conference for young researchers at the intersection between physics & biology: www.embl.org/about/info/c... @embl.org @events.embl.org @intcha.bsky.social
Please consider applying/registering -- the deadline is already in one week!
Active droplets far from equilibrium can become excitable, enabling excited trajectories upon perturbations and self-sustained cycles of formation and dissolution 🌀

Was a great poster session at DPG during the BP 14 session in Regensburg. Lots of great projects on bacterial biophysics, computational biophysics, membranes and vesicles, synthetic life-like systems and origin of life, systems and networks biophysics! #DPG
Retreat of growing Biophysics Theory Groups at the University of Augsburg in Sion (Switzerland) 2024. Hiking, discussing, and cooking!
We are pleased to announce that the upcoming conference, “Emergence and Self-organization in Biological Systems” (ESBS 2025), will be held at the Arnold Sommerfeld Center in the Physics Department of LMU Munich from August 18 to 22, 2025.
What are #theory and concepts in #biology?
Come to our EMBL Heidelberg symposium (edition II) next May to find out more!
Featuring such exciting topics as
active matter,
information processing, learning and computation,
Physics of morphogenesis
and much more! www.embl.org/about/info/c...
a fascinating first submission... ☕
Barely a month from submission to acceptance, with an Editor's Pick selection. Really one of a kind review process.
Extremely grateful to the editors of @JChemPhys and hope that it will be a meaningful contribution to the field. :)
Much thanks to @lrovigatti.
