Dr. Dmitry A. Fedosov
Field of Research: Statistical Physics, Soft Matter, Biological Physics, Nonlinear Dynamics In Germany: 01.09.2017 - 31.10.2017 Host's project description Blood flow in microcirculation plays a fundamental role in a wide range of physiological processes and pathologies in the organism, including transport of molecules and cells, organism defense, haemostasis, and various diseases. A prominent example of the significance of microcirculatory blood flow is cancer, which is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Blood flow in tumor microcirculation is essential for tumor growth and metastasis, but also it strongly affects tumor detection and treatment, since it is the main path for the delivery of imaging agents and drugs. In-silico modeling has a large potential to elucidate blood flow behavior in normal and tumor microcirculation and to guide and possibly drive the optimization of vascular drug delivery. Dr. Fedosov has developed a simulation technique to study blood flow under various conditions. He will use this approach to investigate blood flow and drug delivery by nanocarriers in normal and tumor microcirculation. Unlike vessels in a normal microvasculature, tumor vessels are tortuous and leaky and the effect of these properties on blood flow will be also explored. Drug delivery in normal and tumor microcirculation will be investigated in a few steps including margination of nanoparticles towards the vessel walls, their adhesion to the targeted sites, and trafficking and distribution within the microcirculation. The results will lead to a better understanding of drug delivery by nanocarriers and will help to identify promising strategies for efficient drug delivery to tumors.

Prof. Dr. Sergey Saveliev
Field of Research: Statistical Physics, Soft Matter, Biological Physics, Nonlinear Dynamics In Germany: 01.07.2015 - 31.08.2015 Host's project description Professor Saveliev is well known internationally for his outstanding research in the field of nanodevices controlled by noise. He has made seminal contributions in the theory of interacting Brownian particles and superconducting vortices. He has also done prominent work on generating, filtering and detecting Terahertz radiation in superconductors. His predictions have been verified by many experimental groups worldwide. During his stay in Germany he continues his research on vortex dynamics, magnetic domain motion control, and electron/proton shuttle devices	Home Institute Department of Physics Loughborough University LE11 3TU Loughborough

Prof. Dr. Tamas Tel
Field of Research: Statistical Physics, Soft Matter, Biological Physics, Nonlinear Dynamics In Germany: 01.06.2016 - 30.06.2016 Host's project description Professor Tamas Tel is an internationally well-known expert in statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics. His scientific contributions involve the development of the thermodynamic formalism for nonlinear dynamical systems, particularly the relation between thermodynamics and multifractals. Moreover he established the theory of transient chaos. During his stay in Germany, he intends to study aggregation and fragmentation of inertial particles in fluid flows under the influence of gravity.

Prof. Dr. Stefano Zapperi
Field of Research: Statistical Physics, Soft Matter, Biological Physics, Nonlinear Dynamics In Germany: 01.09.2019 - 30.06.2020 Host's project description Professor Zapperi is an international authority in the theory and modelling of complex systems. He made important contributions to non-equilibrium transport processes, and to deformation and failure of disordered materials. He also developed novel approaches towards understanding the role of mechanical processes in the functioning of biosystems. In Germany, Professor Zapperi will focus on the development of novel approaches to failure prediction in materials and geosystems, new design templates for failure resilient additively manufactured materials, but also on mechanical processes in biosystems including mechanical aspects of carcinogenesis.
