The IAS is at the forefront of innovation by supporting interdisciplinary and audacious research of both young and established researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Sengupta is a Professor of Biological Physics at the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine, an ERC<\/a> Consolidator Awardee and an FNR-ATTRACT Fellow<\/a>. His research links physics and engineering with ecology, to better understand emergent behaviours in living and active matter. Combining experimental and theoretical approaches to address fundamental questions in ecology and human health, he leverages scientific discoveries made in his lab to fight cancer and develop sustainable bio-based solutions for a carbon-neutral future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Sengupta succeeds to Prof. Claus V\u00f6gele, who was appointed as Head of the IAS in 2022. Since its foundation, the IAS has strengthened its support of scientific collaboration at all levels and across disciplines, with an ecosystem of dedicated funding instruments to explore bold and innovative ideas. In addition, the IAS organises regular, themed workshops with international speakers on emerging topics. 91短视频 sincerely thanks Professor Claus V\u00f6gele for his dedicated leadership, commitment and vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
