DPG Spring Meeting in Dresden
Old Members鈥� Trust Graduate Conference and Academic Travel Fund report 鈥� Prarthana Agrawal (2023, DPhil Theoretical Physics)
The purpose of this trip was to attend and participate in two international conferences relevant to my research on self-assembly. At the DPG Spring Meeting, I presented a talk titled 鈥淏ias towards symmetry and simplicity in protein self-assembly鈥�, which examines how genotype鈥損henotype maps favour simple, symmetric structures.
Across both conferences, I attended talks in biological physics and nanoscale self-assembly, including the focus session on 鈥淪equence, Spaces, and Evolution鈥�. I also engaged with researchers during poster sessions and informal discussions, receiving feedback and establishing connections within the field.
I am grateful to the Old Members鈥� Trust聽Graduate Conference and Academic Travel Fund for supporting this trip.
