Plant bioacoustics: on the emission and reception of airborne sounds by plants, and their adaptive value.
The communication of plants with their environment is crucial for their survival.Plants are known to uselight, odours, and touch to communicate with other plants, with pollinators,...
EU Face Advanced Communication for Elders Treasuring in Society
EUFACETS aims at maximising the value of the ERC Consolidator Project FACETS by developing a family-oriented social network app based on visage.Some faces were excluded from the fo...
Nanoscale Advance of CO2 Electroreduction
The transformation of CO2 into fuels and chemicals is one promising route to revert global warming, enabling sustainable circular economies. CO2 electroreduction (CO2E) offers a pa...
Uncovering the role and regulation of 3D DNA-RNA nuclear dynamics in controlling cell fate decisions
At the onset of mammalian life, the first lineage specification decision is made where embryonic cells opt tobecome either part of the placenta or the future body. Proper regulatio...
Exploring the molecular grammar of IDP assembly and condensation at ultra-high throughput
The last years have seen unprecedented breakthroughs in protein structural biology, with the resolution revolution in cryo-electron microscopy and the release of AlphaFold.The comb...
A physics-based study of ice stream dynamics
Ice streams are river-like corridors of fast flowing ice that account for the vast majority of ice discharge to the ocean in continental ice sheets.Their most outstanding feature i...
Memory, Beliefs, and Economic Decisions
This project builds on the psychology of memory to study how selective retrieval affects economic decisions by shaping beliefs and preferences.The general approach is one in which...
The acquisition of new meanings through novel word learning
We learn new words almost on a daily basis: as adults, a new element is introduced in our vocabulary every other day.With new words, we also learn about new objects and ideas - in...
Distributed Radar Interferometry and Tomography Using Clusters of Smallsats
Earth science benefits tremendously from spaceborne synthetic aperture radar.By combining multiple images taken from different angles, we can create accurate digital elevation mode...
Intelligent Device and Computational Software to Control Mechanical Stress and Deformation for Biological Testing
In nature, all biological material from the cell to the tissue level is subjected to continuous mechanical stress and strain.These mechanical cues play an essential role on several...
Towards Evidence-based Policies for Safe and Sound Robots: Harnessing experimentation to optimize the regulatory framing of healthcare robot technologies
GOALThis project aims to make healthcare robots safe and sound for society.PROBLEM STATEMENTThere is an increasing gap between the policy cycle's speed and technological chang...
Creating an orthogonal gate to the brain
Many impairing illnesses raging from metastatic cancers to neurodegenerative diseases affect the brain. Unfortunately, delivery of therapeutics to the brain is highly challenging d...
Banking and Climate Change
Climate change is one of the key societal challenges of our generation, affecting every country, every firm, and every person on this planet for decades to come.More than half of c...
Focused Targeting of Inhaled Magnetic Aerosols for Lung Cancer
The pulmonary tract is an attractive route for direct treatments of lung diseases.Yet, our ability to confine the deposition of inhalation aerosols to specific lung regions, and no...
Unique ALD/MLD-Enabled Material Functions
UniEn-MLD research seeks the extremity of the atomic/molecular layer deposition (ALD/MLD) thin-film technique to enable unforeseen material functionalities.The targeted metal-organ...
Media, Economics and Geopolitics
Research in political economy has documented a vast number of different media effects suggesting that the media can have a profound impact on a range of economically & politica...
The Origins of Human Rhythm
Humans are particularly rhythmic animals. Why did the human sense of rhythm develop?Many hypotheses try to explain the origins of our acoustic rhythm capacities, but few are empiri...
Controlling spin properties of molecules with quantum fields: ab-initio methodologies for spin polaritons
The goal of QED-Spin is to build novel ab initio techniques to reveal effects induced by quantum fields on the spin properties of molecules.Quantum computing and spectroscopic tech...
The Fragments of Aristotle: A Reconstruction of his Lost Works
One of the greatest minds of antiquity was no doubt Aristotle.He left a lasting impression on Western civilization, influencing among others the Founding Fathers in designing the U...
