    Non-classical thermal transport and phase change at the nanoscale 

    Calvo Schwarzwälder, Marc (Date of defense: 2019-07-12)

    For 200 years, Fourier’s law has been used to describe heat transfer with excellent results. However, as technology advances, more and more situations arise where heat conduction is not well described by the classical ...

    Non-coding genome functions in cancer 

    Subirana Granés, Marc (Date of defense: 2023-11-17)

    [eng] Historically, cancer genomics has predominantly focused on coding regions. Current knowledge suggests that non-coding mutations are likely crucial in driving the mechanisms that regulate gene activity, potentially ...
