Abstract:

Nanoscience and nanotechnology research is strongly encouraged and developed nowadays due to its positive impact on the development of new areas such as nano-biology, nano-electronics, nano-photonics and micro- and nano-fluidics.

Recently, superhydrophobic surfaces, for the which the water contact angle is higher than 150° and sliding angle less than 10°, have received attention due to the many potential applications ranging from biological to industrial processes.

Many living beings in nature, including the lotus leaf, rice leaf, butterflying wing and water-strider legs exhibit excellent superhydrophobicity. Such functionalized surfaces possess several unique beneficial properties, i.e. extreme water repellency, self-healing, self-cleaning, anti-bacteria, anti-corrosion, enhanced heat transfer, drag reduction and improved corrosion resistance.

The purpose and in the same time the novelty of the project is to design and realize an innovative, flexible and low cost system for producing of patterned superhydrophobic metallic surfaces. The main goal of this patterned superhydrophobic metallic surfaces is to obtain a fingerprint device to be used on polymeric materials such as: polydimethylsiloxane-PDMS; polyethylene terephthalate-PET, synthetic latex polymers. Some of its innovative applications are to create superhydrophobic surgical gloves, superhydrophobic metallic surfaces for naval industry and also superhydrophobic food packaging for preventing COVID-19 spreading!

Abstract:

The encoding of data may be used for secrecy and/or compactization. It is useful in military applications, in security and any circumstance in which the content of the information is sensitive and the opportunities for data transmission are limited, such as satellite communication. Mathematical transforms such as Hadamard or, to a less extent, Fourier, if they are applied to input data having a high degree of redundancy, turn the input into encrypted data with many empty spaces. Redundancy is converted into sparsity. The Fourier transform has the advantage that can be performed physically easy as diffraction on a lens for instance. In optical processing of information encryption of data, especially in the 4f configuration, is done for some time. With the advent of digital phase shift holography significant progress has been made in the field in terms of convenience and complexity. In scientific literature there are a number of theoretical and experimental techniques which share some but not all of the following aspects: encryption of data, compactization of data, physical realization, digital recording, phase shift interferometry, holography. We propose an original experimental technique which combines the advantages of all these aspects. Input data which may be presented as a transmission or a reflection mask will be recorded via means of phase shift digital holography as an encrypted and compressed file. As a secondary direction of research, we propose the reciprocal, the use of the recursive algorithm for the creation of diffractive optical elements for encryption and compactization of data. One may force the encrypted data to take the form of a known, compact amplitude distribution and an additional phase factor. In this case the data is encrypted numerically, not physically, but it can be decrypted physically using a phase spatial light modulator.

Abstract:

Due to global climate changes and industry continuously growing, water pollution became an imperative issue and sustained research efforts are to be made in order to solve it by finding cost effective and low power consumption techniques for water decontamination.

The current project objective is to develop and test a demonstration experimental system for water decontamination based on the action of micro-nanobubbles containing reactive oxygen species such as singlet oxygen. The micro-nanobubbles include singlet oxygen and are generated by a photoactivated porous membranes containing photosenzitizers (PS) functionalised carbon nanotubes and TiO2 nanoparticles.

Membrane will be illuminated by visible light radiation in order to activate PS which will transfer the energy to oxygen molecules present in a gas flow which is passing through. Another dezexcitation channel is the transfer of energy to TiO2 nanoparticles which can generate radicals with strong oxidation capacity such as OH•.

The singlet oxygen is formed in the gas flow and is ejected into bubbles in the liquid. The main advantage of the singlet oxygen action from bubbles is the long lifetime (ms) in gas for this excited species. In this way the oxygen can be transported longer distance in water and acts further from the source. Ultrasounds will be used in order to help formation of ultrafine bubbles which will be more stable and last longer.

To reach the project aim, specific objectives will be followed: optimisation of photophysical membrane parameters; bubble generator testing and finding proper parameters; finding the functionality and critical parameters for developed system in assembly; validate the model on polluted water samples, evaluation of efficiency against bacterial contaminants.

Abstract:

One major side effect of nowadays abundance of plastic products is microplastic pollution, where small size polymer particles of diverse origins enter the environment, only part of them being removed by the wastewater treatment plants.

Despite the differences that exist at this point about the definition of microplastic particles, if considering only their sizes, elements smaller than 5 mm in diameter with no lower limit are considered. They constitute a wide range of chemically complex materials, often with additives and fillers influencing properties such as color, density, durability. This diversity in properties and wide particle size range means that as a group of analytes, they are challenging to efficiently detect and identify in complex environmental matrices, especially when nanometric range dimensions are involved.

This project proposal aims at developing a new laser-based device for detection of microplastics in water.

Its scope derives from the need to find a way for faster and accurate detection of microplastic particles in fluids with a limited number of measurements, easy processing and sampling. For this, we will develop a subsystem capable to detect microplastics in water droplets using enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy. This will be joint with another subsystem based on optofluidic measurements at the surface of an air bubble generated in polluted bulk water sample performed by real time surface and interfacial tension measurements. The interaction between microdroplets and bubbles with laser beams belongs to a rather new field of multidisciplinary research, the optofluidics, which deals with the interaction of optical radiation with fluid systems. The combination of the enhanced sensitivity of the Raman scattering technique obtained using very small samples (microdroplets) with the latest developments in the topics of microfluidics and optical spectroscopy may constitute an advance in the field of online monitoring of water pollutants.

Abstract:

The development of the field of data transmission involving electronic and computational technologies drove the development of data encryption systems. In recent years, one area of secure transmission of optical information that has emerged is the encoding based on encryption systems that use the nonlinear chaotic properties of laser emission. However, with the development of this field the need to develop tools for testing and experimenting these systems has emerged to reduce the difference between theory and practice, and to improve the knowledge about them.

The project aims to develop a chaotic device (laboratory prototype) coupling two chaotic laser generators to experience different methods and platforms for data encryption/decryption process using chaotic laser carriers. This will be developed as an integrated computer-controlled system.

Thus, within the project we start from two existing external-cavity semiconductor lasers (ECSL) systems (chaotic laser generators), one with control of the chaotic emission dynamics through the injection current modulation and the other through the electro-optic phase modulation, coupled optically and with their chaotic dynamics synchronized; we will develop a hardware and software platform for an automated computer (integrated) control of all sub-assemblies (laser drivers, detection and analysis devices, RF signal generator etc). So, we will able for input/output data control, so that the entire assembly becomes a device for testing the chaotic encoded techniques (encryption/ decryption methods), as well as the random number generators (software platforms), and everything with the possibility of remote control over internet.

The presented chaotic device aims to test and better understand basic concepts of cryptographic systems based on nonlinear chaotic dynamic of laser emission.

Abstract:

The MultiMonD2 project proposes the development of a multi-agent platform consisting of micro-laboratories specialized in the monitoring the water quality of the Danube and Danube Delata and the testing of its decontamination capabilities. To this end, robotic vectors will be realized which will integrate systems for the investigation of Danube's water quality and dynamics. The acquired data will be collected and interpreted by a dedicated software system, operated from a control center. The robotic vectors will be equipped with sensors systems and devices for diagnostics organized as micro-labs for the monitoring of water quality, management of floods and sediments. The project (MultiMonD2) is made of 4 interdisciplinary and complementary projects, interconnected through specific objectives aimed at achieving the general objective: development of the MultiMonD2 multifunctional platform. Therefore, the aerial and surface water vectors will be used used as carrier systems for the sensor based detection equipment (developed in project 1). Project 2 proposes the development of a technical solution that allows the optimizing of communication from the different types of sensors mounted on the robotic vectors and includes software modules that will interact with the Control and Command Center developed in project 3. Project 4 constitutes a 'proof-of-concept', which proposes, based on the results obtained and processed in the other projects, a solution for local decontamination. The consortium is made of 5 partner institutions. The institutional consolidation of the partners is achieved by: i) ensuring new positions for young people in the field of research, ii) development of novel/improved technologies and iii) the providing of research and technological services with impact in the economy.

Abstract:

Cancerul este una dintre cauzele principale de deces la nivel mondial, cu aproximativ 14 milioane de cazuri noi si 8.2 milioane de decese cauzate anual. Gasirea unor modalitati de a diagnostica si trata cancerul intr-un stadiu incipient este de mare importanta, deoarece mortalitatea din cauza acestei boli este puternic influentata de momentul diagnosticarii ei. Una dintre directiile principale in diagnosticul patologic este de a dezvolta noi metode care pot oferi rezultate precise la costuri reduse.

Scopul acestui proiect este de a dezvolta un nou dispozitiv bazat pe imagistica cantitativa de faza (quantitative phase imaging - QPI), capabil sa analizeze celulele din tesuturi maligne sau benigne si sa le diferentieze prin detectarea unor mici variatii ale indicelui de refractie ale tesuturilor nemarcate fluorescent (label free), care nu sunt altfel posibile prin tehnicile uzuale de microscopie. Dispozitivul ce urmeasa a fi dezvoltat, va fi compus dintr-un sistem interferometric capabil sa furnizeze informatii cantitative (lungimea drumului optic/densitatea tesutului) despre proba analizata. Aceasta metoda va oferi o precizie sporita in comparatie cu metodele folosite in mod curent prin corelarea variatiei/distributiei indicelui de refractie cu tipul probei analizate.

Abstract:

Una dintre cele mai mari probleme din domeniul farmaceutic este reprezentata de slaba biodisponibilitate a medicamentelor din cauza insolubilitatii lor in fluidele biologice, a polimorfismului si a fenomenelor de stabilitate. Aceasta proiect propune dezvoltarea unui dispozitiv asistat laser pentru producerea de nanoemulsii ce contin medicamente ce pot fi folosite ca si vectori de transport catre tinte specifice. Scopul acestui proiect deriva din necesitatea de a gasi noi modalitati de a trata boli cauzate de disfunctii endoteliale. Pentru aceasta, vom dezvolta un dispozitiv capabil sa produca nanoemulsii cu ajutorul radiatiei laser nerezonante si vom studia proprietatile agentilor sclerozanti, folositi in mod curent pentru tratarea bolii venelor varicoase, incorporati in nanoemulsii. Folosirea sistemelor coloidale compuse din medicamente active reduc cantitatea de medicamente necesara pentru tratament in timp ce ii imbunatateste efectele datorită faptului că suprafața de contact cu pereții venelor este crescut.

Abstract:

The project aims to study the photopysical and photochemical properties of novel complex drug compounds that combine the targeted delivery by nanotubes with visible light triggering for drug release. The novel designed complexes are formed by carbon nanotubes functionalised by a photosensitizer which is linked through photocleavable group to a chemotherapeutic drug. This type of complexes, which associates nanotubes as carrier system and light photoactivation to release drugs (through the oxygen generated by a photosenzitizer which also functionalizes the nanotube), was not reported till know according our knowledge. Studies will be performed by time resolved laser spectroscopy techniques as fluorescence, phosphorescence, transient absorption, and Raman. These techniques have the advantages of selectivity, high sensitivity, and real time monitoring of the products and intermediates during irradiation. Fundamental data on the interacting components implied in the complex structure as quantum yield of oxygen singlet generation, fluorescence lifetime, triplet quantum yield and lifetime, and reaction rates, are important in order to optimize drug efficiency. The ability to manipulate light in terms of its wavelength, intensity, site of application and duration allows precise, triggered control regarding the location, dose and time at which a therapeutic agent is released.

Abstract:

Medical research has progressed greatly based on recent advances in genomics and systems biology. New concepts, such as personalized medicine (drug selection based on individual genomics profile), have emerged while large improvements in drug efficiency is expected from knowledge of organisms’ systems biology. We aim at developing a comprehensive approach that will pave a rational path from genes to drugs using computational (drug-pathogen modeling and simulation) and biophysical (spectral characterization of drug molecules, analysis of laser-irradiated drugs, testing of drug-pathogen interaction) investigation methods.

Starting from initial observations (obtained as part of drug stability studies) on the interaction of laser-irradiated drugs with pathogens, we have performed molecular docking simulations for screening efflux pump inhibitors. We are proposing here to further explore the effect of laser radiation on efflux pump inhibitors (EPI) in order to develop predictive methods that use spectral information for computational selection of drugs, and to develop comprehensive models of drug-pathogen interaction. Such methods can be used for designing new classes of drugs with better target affinity, stability and enhanced tissue targeting.

We propose an implementation of our approach using a large library of available chemical compounds that will include the quinazoline derivatives, phenothiazines, and other EPI drugs. Our work will include: analysis of laser-irradiated drug reaction pathways, analysis and prediction of drug stability, modeling drug-EP interaction dynamics and development of drug activity prediction models based on pharmacophore analysis and spectral information. Testing the predictive power of our methods will be done on bacterial strains that overexpress MDR bacterial pumps, as well as on animal models, using selected drugs with known EPI activity. Finally, we will use our computational method to recommend new chemical compounds with desired EPI activity.
