The Mirny lab is part of the 4DN consortium that studies the organization of DNA in space and time. The lab consists of theorists and collaborates with top experimental labs from all over the world. Using approaches from bioinformatics (data analysis) and polymer physics (computational modelling), I studied the interplay between DNA organization and transcription.

I performed experiments in a single-molecule lab to study mechanical properties of DNA.

Using magnetic tweezers I investigated how the fluorescent dye YOYO-1 alters the length and stiffness of DNA. YOYO-1 is frequently used to visualize DNA.

Abstract: "Time-bin-entangled photons are ideal for long-distance quantum communication via optical fibers. Here we present a source where, even at high creation rates, each excitation pulse generates, at most, one time-bin-entangled pair. This is important for the accuracy and security of quantum communication. Our site-controlled quantum dot generates single polarization-entangled photon pairs, which are then converted, without loss of entanglement strength, into single time-bin-entangled photon pairs."

Physical Review A
Abstract: "The ubiquitous sliding clamp facilitates processivity of the replicative polymerase and acts as a platform to recruit proteins involved in replication, recombination and repair. While the dynamics of the E. coli b2-sliding clamp have been characterized in vitro, its in vivo stoichiometry and dynamics remain unclear. To probe both b2-clamp dynamics and stoichiometry in live E. coli cells, we use custom-built microfluidics in combination with single- molecule fluorescence microscopy and photoactivated fluorescence microscopy. We analyzed the experimental data,  quantify the recruitment, binding and turnover of b2-sliding clamps on DNA during replication. These quantitative in vivo results demonstrate that numerous b2-clamps in E. coli remain on the DNA behind the replication fork for a protracted period of time, allowing them to form a docking platform for other enzymes involved in DNA metabolism."

I analyzed the experimental data using maximum likelihood fitting and bootstrapping.

Goal of the project was to create time-bin entangled photons with a single quantum dot. Time-bin entangled photons are in a superposition of two positions or emission times and are a good choice for quantum communication. My activities during the project were:
-Design, build and test a new (optical) setup
-A theoretical analysis for the influence of dephasing on the time-bin entangled state
Master Thesis
Develop a package to pigtail a single mode fiber to a superconducting single photon detector (SSPD).
Internship at Stockholm University
During the project I used the commercial software program Nextnano to model existing quantum cascade laser structures and to design a quantum cascade laser with a specific emission frequency.
