Global efforts to create a molecular census of the brain using single-cell transcriptomics are
producing a large catalog of molecularly defined cell types. However, spatial information is …

Many continuous gravitational wave searches are affected by instrumental spectral lines that
could be confused with a continuous astrophysical signal. Several techniques have been …

In this thesis methodologies for manipulation and control of two different surface-molecule
systems are explored. Thermal effects play a key role in all of the mechanisms studied. The …
