Biologically Plausible Transformers - Integrating Top-Down and Bottom-Up Signals in the Primary Vision System for Computationally Efficient Deep Learning
Deep learning (DL) has recently achieved remarkable success due to the continuous growth in model sizes. However, this growth has led to increased energy consumption. Hardware impl...
Multi-carbonyl-COFs as high-capacity organic cathodes for lithium batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are the most promising materials for sustainable energy storage due to their high energy density, low self-discharge rate, and longer life cycles. Organic ele...
Characterization of natural and modified plant nucleotide-based immunity signals as potential agents for crop protection
Disease in crop plants is the major cause of lost productivity and economic hardship globally. New environmentally sustainable approaches for enhancing plant resistance to newly em...
Innovating the Future of Wind Power Plants: A Comprehensive Investigation into Fault Ride-Through Solutions By Grid-Forming Control
In March 2023, the European Parliament and the Council reached a provisional agreement to increase the binding renewable energy target to at least 42.5% by 2030. This necessitates...
Mechanisms underlying functional disabilities in chronic musculoskeletal pain: the role of protective factors
Chronic musculoskeletal pain is a major health issue, which translates into a severe economic burden. Studies on chronic pain conditions have focused primarily on characterizing pa...
The MANOSphere Pill: Pathways of Boys and Men into Online Male Supremacism in Portugal and Ireland
This research intends to explore the discourses and social dynamics constructed on social media by manosphere groups, particularly Pickup Artist, InCel, and MGTOW communities, as w...
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...
Geometric and harmonic analysis for weights
Our research focuses on the study of geometric and analytical aspects of various classes of weight functions that are ubiquitous in harmonic analysis. The main goals of this projec...
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 ther...
Making Time: Organized Labour and the Politics of Care Leave
Promoting work-life balance has been a focus of recent directives from the European Commission and a source of policy innovation in several countries. Social policies that make tim...
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 role in the developme...
What’s wrong? Ancient corrections in Greek papyri from Egypt
This project aims to transform the study of the Ancient Greek language by shifting the focus away from famous literary authors towards the language as it was produced in everyday l...
Collaborative Machine Intelligence
Machine learning models are growing larger and more complex, making training increasingly resource-demanding. Concurrently, our world, and hence the training data is perpetually ev...
Living with Drought: Human -Environment Relationships in Drying European Landscapes
Recent multi-year droughts have led to severe and unequally distributed socio-environmental disruptions across Europe, the Earth’s fastest warming continent. Much more than short-t...
Internal state drivers of behavioral flexibility and their underlying neural circuitry in the zona incerta
Survival requires accurate and rapid implementation of adaptive behavior. In a world where our physiological needs and surrounding environment are ever changing, one wrong move cou...
Decoding neuropeptide function in inhibitory amygdala microcircuits
Adaptive behaviour to ever-changing environments is crucial for an animals survival in conditions of immediate threat. Meanwhile, there is growing evidence that psychiatric conditi...
Towards a Theory of Rational Desire
The standard framework for rational decision making is expected utility theory. In this framework, decision makers are modelled as having a probability function, which represents t...
Uniform inference with time series
This project proposes a novel econometric approach suited for hypothesis testing and confidence interval construction in the presence of generic time series regressors with arbitra...
Optimizing music-based rehabilitation for post-stroke aphasia
Aphasia causes severe impairments in verbal communication, coupled with cognitive and motor deficits and depression, making it the most debilitating and socioeconomically burdening...
