Nanostructure-Based Design of Visual Perception using High-Index Disordered Metasurface Physics
The optics of disordered media with subwavelength high-contrast resonant inhomogeneities is a fascinating research topic emerging at the interface between the physics of waves in c...
From engineering to evolution of synthetic cells with RNA origami
Can we construct a cell from non-living matter?In search for answers, bottom-up synthetic biology has successfully encapsulated functional sets of biomolecules inside lipid vesicle...
Cavity Quantum Electro Optics: Microwave photonics with nonclassical states
Optical photons propagate with ultra-low loss and do not interact easily which makes them perfect information carriers. Logical operations and sensing on the other hand rely on non...
Approaching 20% emission efficiency in the NIR-II region with radical chromophores
The applications of light-based technologies in modern society cannot be underestimated.Some well-known examples of these include organic light-emitting diodes, fluorescent sensors...
From fiber to wall: PHYSical approach of hygrothermal transfers in BIO-based construction MATerials
Bio-based construction materials are air-fiber systems, such as wood, hemp, cellulose, flax, etc., possibly coated with a mineral paste.They represent a promising solution for carb...
What to expect of ExPEC: is the success of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli linked to specific genomic and cellular properties?
Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) are one of the greatest challenges for the healthcare system, with a frightening prognosis for the future. Despite being heavily studied...
Towards a Mechanistic Account of Maintenance Goals
People need to invest tremendous effort and motivational resources to ensure that all the valuable things they have will be maintained, on both an individual level (e.g., family, h...
Synthesis and Utilization of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for more sustainable and durable cementitious composites
The current project purposes to produce ultra-high performance concrete, especially at early age, and also to further reduce cement consumption using novel nanotechnology technique...
Elasticity, capillarity and imbibition in textiles
Fibrous media are ubiquitous in natural and engineered systems, due to their versatility, flexibility and functionality.Nonwovens (i.e. entangled fibrous networks), and especially...
Data-Driven Agent-Based Models of Investors with Machine Learning
Image recognition or self-driving cars are just a few among many applications of machine learning (ML) methods.Given that we can train a cobot to mimic human behaviour, why not tra...
Irish Identities and Political Thought in Early Modern Historical Writing: Greek and Roman Sources
Current political debates relating to Brexit, the Northern Ireland Protocol, and the integration of the Republic of Ireland into the European Union, which reveal the pluralism of I...
Design And Modeling of Oxide Catalysts by machine LEarning and atomistic Simulations
The DAMOCLES project aims to apply data-driven modeling (i.e., molecular simulations combined with machine learning) to study and tailor metal oxide catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation...
Intra-household responsibilities and financial decisions
Much of today’s policies addressing poor’s welfare are based on the presumption that women are more likely than men to use income in ways that improve household welfare.An approach...
DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE - adaptive behaviour in migratory birds to overcome physiological and environmental constraints
Advances in tracking technology during the last decade have shown that migratory birds have the capacity to fly longer and faster than we previously thought was possible.Yet, we do...
Building charge-MOSAIC nanofiltration membranes for removing micro-pollutants from surface and drinking water
Our surface and drinking water sources are increasingly threatened by the presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs).OMPs are small molecules (100-1000 Da) that originate from indu...
A Research Platform Addressing Outstanding Research Challenges for Nanoscale Design and Engineering of Multifunctional 2D Materials
Emerging materials science and nanoscale engineering spawn extraordinary structures. During my ERC-StG, I discovered a new family of internally-ordered 3D atomic laminates that I c...
An eXtreme Mesh deformation method to follow sharp physical interfaces
This project will develop an innovative approach, X-MESH, to overcome a major difficulty associated with engineeringanalysis: we aim to provide a revolutionary way to track physica...
Dissecting the Brain Basis of Obesity-Induced Pubertal Alterations: A View to a Kiss
Child obesity is a worrying condition, affecting 20% adolescents.Among its comorbidities, early obesity is linked to disturbed puberty, which is more evident in girls, but bound to...
Post Quantum Cryptography Framework for Energy Aware Contexts
In the last three decades, public key cryptography has become an indispensable component of global communication digital infrastructure.These networks support a plethora of applica...
Time-Evolving Stochastic Manifolds
Uncertainty is all around us and caused, for example, by the nature of a problem as in quantum mechanics, the lack of our precise knowledge as in porous media, or inaccuracies in m...
