SONICC: Sonic Identities in Early Modern Crete and Cyprus 1453-1700
Located at the Eastern edge of the Venetian Empire and the Western edge of the Ottoman Empire, early modern Crete and Cyprus have been at the periphery of musicology.As spaces of c...
FAST: innovative Flash floods, debris, and humAn factor modelling methods for Safe evacuaTion
Flash floods in urban areas are particularly dangerous extreme events, given their tragic impacts on human life and significant socialand economic damage. Evacuation of citizens du...
VitD_CancerImmunity: Vitamin D and Bile Acid Metabolic Control of Cancer Immunity
Diet plays a central role in the development and function of immune cells and has been shown to affect immune responses against pathogens, as well as in autoimmunity and cancer.Und...
Algebraic topology bridging the gap between single neurons and networks
This research proposal aims to advance our understanding of neuronal networks through the integration of topological data analysis (TDA), computational modelling, and machine learn...
Imperfect perception: Sensory dysfunctions and relationalism
Sensory dysfunctions shape how many of us experience the world. Examples include vision loss and colour-blindness, but also less well-known dysfunctions like hyperacusis, where sou...
NEPhos_Phosphoregulation of ESCRT-III during nuclear envelope reformation
The nuclear envelope (NE) is a double membrane barrier which encloses the genome of eukaryotic cells, physically shielding the genetic material from the cytoplasmic environment. Th...
Synthetic tissue from 3D-printed protocells and coacervates
Researchers have constructed protocells (which are small compartments with life-like properties) in a bottom-up approach to understand life. However, many features of living system...
Invariants in derived analytic and noncommutative geometry.
Recent work on the foundations of functional analysis has enabled the use of tools from homotopy theory to develop a unified approach towards derived and noncommutative geometry, e...
Developing a language-specific approach to understanding early language acquisition in New to English children
Recent research found that by the end of primary school, two thirds of children who start school with limited English do not reach the literacy levels needed to fully access the cu...
Sustainable Materials from Mining-waste and Tailing Stabilisation (SUMMITS)
Mining activities are essential for the development and subsistence of human society and of paramount importance for Europe's and the world's economy. However, they produ...
The periodic homotopy type of spaces of embeddings
Manifolds are, in many ways, the building blocks of topology and appear in virtually every area of mathematics. They are high-dimensional analogues of the space in which we live: t...
Baboon adaptations to disease and predation: Evolution at the service of human-wildlife interactions (ADAPT)
The expansion of human activities across the world results in increased human-wildlife interactions. In particular, wildlife living within or close to human-modified landscapes are...
Illuminating forces that threaten living tissues across scales
Epithelial tissues are constantly exposed to forces that can lead to >50 % deformation in adult tissues, and several hundred percent during development. To function as a bar...
Understanding Civil War from Pre- to Post-War Stages: A Comparative Approach
Civil wars, or wars that take place within state borders, are the dominant form of armed conflict today. Every year civil wars generate numerous deaths from violence, destruction a...
Understanding and PreDicting the Rapid development of storms: A new ForecasTing framework
Developments in numerical weather forecasting have been of great benefit to many sectors of society.However, state-of-the-art weather forecasting and climate models still struggle...
Innovative End Locker for Efficient Design for Disassembly (DfD) in Concrete Construction
The construction sector is responsible for more than 7 % of the world’s anthropogenic CO2 emissions, primarily due to cement production. The cement production alone accounts for 4...
Synergistic Control Technology: Muscle Activation-Based Intention Estimation and Vision-aid Assistance in Upper Limb Prosthetics
Prosthetic devices and their assistive technologies (ATs) have been socially demanded by several factors, including higher rates of traumatic amputations from accidents and an agin...
Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep
What we remember and forget lies at the core of who we are. But how do our brains shape our memories of the past?Sleep promotes the flexible use of memory by reactivating and there...
Towards a Dynamic Algorithms Centric Theory of Linear Programming
This proposal explores the interplay between two key concepts in theoretical computer science.(I) ""Linear programs"" (LPs) have historically played a pivotal r...
