These represent a newly documented physical phenomenon in the well-resear ched physical domain of mechanical resonators. The emergence of PFC is med iated by nonlinear modal coupling. Through a series of experiments using m icromechanical resonators\, various physical features of PFC have been ide ntified. These include drive parameters for comb operation\, hysteresis fo r comb spectrum tailoring and nonlinear sensitivity to physical perturbati ons. My talk will describe the physics of PFC and will emphasize how these combs could be foundational to the fields of materials science\, molecula r science and chemical science. In that respect\, I will present our first conceptual demonstrations of material combs\, molecular combs and chemica l combs respectively. I will also showcase our recent demonstrations of br oadband PFC using optical tweezers and phonon lasers. The future work will be focused on the applications of PFC in sensing\, communications and qua ntum information science.\n\nBiography of the Speaker:\n\nAdarsh Ganesan i s currently an assistant professor at Birla Institute of Technology and Sc ience (BITS)\, Pilani – Dubai Campus\, UAE. He obtained his BE (Hons) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from BITS Pilani in 2014 and Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of Cambridge in 2018. He carried out h is postdoctoral research at the National Institute of Standards and Techno logy (NIST)\, Gaithersburg\, USA from 2018-2021.
