The Global South in the Age of Early Industrial Capitalism: Commodity Frontiers and Social Transformations (1816-1870)
Our lives would be unthinkable without the production of millions of tons of cotton, sugar, palm oil or soy.All these commodities are obtained at the lowest possible price with oft...
Inference in High Dimensions: Light-speed Algorithms and Information Limits
Extracting information from data is the key challenge of our time, and in many applications (e.g., genome-wide association studies, data compression, and virtual assistants such as...
Twinning for Excellence in Reliable Electronics
Reliable electronic systems are crucial in a wide range of applications, such as space missions, avionics, automotive, smart industry, medicine, banking, nuclear power plants, high...
Does exposure to artificial light at night impacts immunity and microbiome in natural populations of an amphibian?
The constant increase of urbanization and human activities worldwide is exposing animals and human to a multitude of stressful stimuli that disrupt physiological functions in organ...
A Continent Disarmed? Gun Culture, Gun Control and the Making of Western Europe (ca. 1870-1970)
This research project is a comparative and transnational historical investigation of the lawful possession and use of small firearms by law-abiding civilians in Europe between ca....
The Economics and Politics of Alternative Realities
Many people hold systems of wrong beliefs, which combine into a semi-coherent alternative reality based on the sinister motives of influential actors. I build models of the supply...
Aluminum STEAM combustion for clean energy
Metal fuels are emerging as a zero-carbon, high-energy density replacement for fossil fuels due to their availability and recyclability using renewable energy. Aluminum (Al) powder...
Microbiota-controlled trafficking of immunosuppressive intestinal T cells into cancer
Resistance of cancers to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) can result from a deviated taxonomic composition of the intestinal microbiota.A surge in the Enterocloster genus, for inst...
Harnessing the Catalytic Potential of Nitrogenases
Biological nitrogen fixation is nature’s alternative to the industrial Haber-Bosch process that currently feeds at least half of the human world population through the provision of...
The organization of the archaeal cell
Archaea are microbes that form one of the three domains of life.While sharing similarities with both Bacteria and Eukarya, archaea possess unique features such as atypical lipid me...
Unpacking Paradigmatic Gaps
Universal paradigmatic gaps are gaps in linguistic paradigms that appear across languages and across users of a given language. As of yet, only very few gaps of this kind have been...
Statistical theory and methodology for the combination of heterogeneous and distributed data
Data is now collected at unprecedented scales across many industries, meaning that there is huge potential for evidence-based advances in science, technology and public policy.Howe...
Universality Phenomena in Geometry and Dynamics of Moduli spaces
Geometry and dynamics in the moduli spaces proved to be extremely efficient in the study of surface foliations, billiards in polygons and in mathematical models of statistical and...
Intramer-mediated multi-parallel mapping of signalling pathways
Cellular behaviour is methodically studied using systems biology approaches that analyse the presence, absence, or oscillation of biomolecules.To this end, exogenous perturbations,...
Acoustic whole blood imaging flow cytometry for rare cell identification
This project addresses the need for new tools to detect and monitor the disease progression in patients with metastatic cancer. Breast and prostate cancer are the most common malig...
Climate tectonics interactions using big data-informed models
Earth topography and its subsurface are the result of complex interactions between tectonics and climate. Sediments in the shallow subsurface contain vital resources including wate...
Excellence in Galaxies - Twinning the IAC
With this Twinning With this Twinning action we aim to strengthen the research and networking capacity, profile and impact of the Instituto de Astrofsica de Canarias (IAC) in the a...
Unravelling the Dark Universe from the Canary Islands Observatories
Astrophysical and cosmological observations imply that only 5% of the energy of the Universe is made of conventional matter.Therest is composed by a new type of matter, the so-call...
Development of a toolbox to improve preparedness strategies on surveillance in human-animal interface and countermeasures to reduce recurrent Ebola impacts
The recent outbreak of Ebola virus (EBOV), in particular the EBOV Sudan strain, is a major cause for concern as there are currently no available vaccines and treatments for this fa...
Credible Inference for Empirical Macroeconomics
Following the credibility revolution, macroeconomists have sought plausibly exogenous instruments and other sources of variation to identify causal effects.Given the complex nature...
