He then studied Mathematics and Physics at Utrecht University and was awarded both his B.Sc. degrees cum laude in 2010. To pursue his Master’s degree in Physics he subse- quently moved to ETH Zurich. Wilbert spent the summer of 2011 at CERN, Geneva, working together with Dr. Werner Lustermann for the purposes of an internship. In 2012 he received his M.Sc. ETH in Physics, writing a theoretical dissertation in the ﬁeld of solid-state physics under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Manfred Sigrist. In 2012 Wilbert joined the group of Prof. Dr. Huib Bakker at the AMOLF Institute in Amsterdam to embark on his Ph.D. research employing ultrafast spectroscopy techniques to study ice, resulting in this thesis. His Ph.D. research projects on monocrystalline ice have been carried out in conjunction with the research group of Prof. Dr. Mischa Bonn at the Max Planck Institute for Poly- mer Research in Mainz. During his Ph.D. research, he also spent several weeks at the EPFL collaborating with Prof. Dr. Sylvie Roke to study the freezing behaviour of emulsions using sum-frequency scattering spectroscopy. Among other activities, in his free time Wilbert loves experiencing the slipperiness of ice on his ice skates. Jaap Edenbaan, Amsterdam, 2013 1651.

Second Harmonic Scattering as a Probe of Structural Correlations in Liquids Gabriele Tocci,1, 2, ∗ Chungwen Liang,1, 2 David M.

The measured intensity is generally thought to arise from incoherent scattering due to individual molecules. We introduce a method to compute the second harmonic scattering pattern of molecular liquids directly from atomistic computer simulations, which takes into account the coherent terms. We apply this approach to large scale molecular dynamics simulations of liquid water, where we show that nanosecond second harmonic scattering experiments contain a coherent contribution arising from radial and angular correlations on a length-scale of . 1 nm - much shorter than had been recently hypothesized [1]. By combining structural correlations from simulations with experimental data [1] we can also extract an effective molecular hyperpolarizability in the liquid phase. This work demonstrates that second harmonic

Optical Imaging of Surface Chemistry and Dynamics in Confinement
Optical Imaging of Surface Chemistry and Dynamics in Confinement Carlos Macias-Romero, Igor Nahalka, Halil I. Okur, Sylvie Roke# Laboratory for fundamental BioPhotonics (LBP), Institute of Bioengineering (IBI), and Institute of Materials Sci- ence (IMX), School of Engineering (STI), and Lausanne Centre for Ultrafast Science (LACUS), École Polytech- nique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), CH-1015, Lausanne, Switzerland, #[email protected]; Surface chemistry and dynamics are optically imaged label-free and non-invasively in a 3D confined geome- try and on sub-second time scales Abstract The interfacial structure and dynamics of water in a microscopically confined geometry is imaged in three dimensions and on millisecond time scales. We developed a 3D wide-field second harmonic mi- croscope that employs structured illumination. We image pH induced chemical changes on the curved and confined inner and outer surfaces of a cylindrical glass micro-capillary immersed in aqueous solu- tion. The image contrast reports on the orientational order of interfacial water, induced by charge- dipole interactions between water molecules and surface charges. The images constitute surface poten- tial maps. Spatially resolved surface pKa,s values are determined for the silica deprotonation reaction. Values range from 2.3<pKa,s<10.7, highlighting the importance of surface heterogeneities. Water mol- ecules that rotate along an oscillating external electric field are also imaged. With this approach, real time movies of surface processes that involve flow, heterogeneities and potentials can be made, which will further developments in electrochemistry, geology, catalysis, biology, and microtechnology. Microscopic and nanoscopic structural heterogeneities, confinement, and flow critically influ- ence surface chemical processes in electrochemical, geological, and catalytic reactions (1-5).

Phd Student in Biophysics/Physical Chemistry the Position Is Part
PhD student in Biophysics/Physical Chemistry The position is part of the Innovative Training Network (ITN) “PROTON”. The network is devoted to the investigation of proton transport and proton‐coupled transport. It is funded under Marie Sklodowska‐Curie actions (H2020‐MSCA‐ITN‐2019, grant agreement number: 860592). The successful applicant will perform her/his studies and research at the Institute of Biophysics (Division of Molecular and Membrane Biophysics) at Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, Austria, She/he will join the Membrane Transport Group (Head Peter Pohl) that is mainly interested in spontaneous and facilitated transport of water, protons and other small molecules as well as in membrane protein translocation across the reconstituted translocation channel. Preferentially we use electrophysiology, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, light scattering (in stopped flow mode) and electrochemical microscopy. Job Description The successful applicant will investigate proton’s ability to migrate along the membrane surface. The process is important to bioenergetics, since it ensures the most efficient coupling between mitochondrial proton pumps and ATPases. The scope of this research project is to understand the compositional and geometrical requirements that the membrane surface must fulfil for its waters of hydration to generate these forces. The researcher will record pH profiles of traveling proton waves by using membrane anchored pH dependent dyes. Monitoring proton diffusion along differently shaped model membranes will help to elucidate the role of membrane curvature in proton lateral migration. Conducting similar experiments with other biological objects will demonstrate whether proton surface migration is a general phenomenon. The work involves overexpression, purification and reconstitution of membrane proteins. We will explore the role of regulatory factors like the presence of counterions, cation adsorption to the bilayer or the application of an electric field across and along the bilayer.

Acknowledgement I would like to start this section with a quotation that I received from my mother when I was doing my Bachelor in Canada: “Travail et persévérance sont forces de réussite”. Throughout all these years, this sentence stayed in my head as a self-motivation. Indeed, this thesis represents not only a 5-year- long personal and scientific achievement but also marks a long-term accomplishment that would not have been possible without a benevolent surrounding. Foremost, I am deeply grateful to have done my PhD in the Laboratory for fundamental BioPhotonics (LBP) at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne with Professor Sylvie Roke, who was my PhD supervisor for these past 5 years. The workplace, the infrastructures and the research facility within the LBP and at EPFL were exquisite. The whole PhD’s apprenticeship would not have been the same without my supervisor, she occupied a significant place in this Bildungsroman that was my thesis.

In these studies, interactions between ions, and between ions and water, are investigated with relatively novel approaches, including dielectric relaxation spectroscopy, far-infrared (terahertz) absorption spectroscopy, femtosecond mid- infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray spectroscopy and scattering, as well as molecular dynamics simulation methods. With these methods, it is found that ion pairing is not a rare phenomenon only occurring for very particular, strongly interacting cations and anions. Instead, for many salt solutions and their interfaces, the measured and calculated structure and dynamics reveal the presence of a distinct concentration of contact ion pairs (CIPs), solvent shared ion pairs (SIPs), and solvent-separated ion pairs (2SIPs).
