Music Processing for Cochlear Implants Based on Auditory and Neural Modelling
Cochlear implants (CIs) have been tremendously successful in restoring speech communication for deaf people. However, the enjoyment of music through CIs is still quite limited. The...
Compositional Approximation Schemes
Neural networks have firmly established themselves as powerful tools in many scientific domains, e.g. for protein folding, recovering images of black holes, or solving Schrödinger...
Microbial sulfonolipid biosynthesis and degradation in the human gut
Sulfobacins are sulfonated lipids that are bacterially synthesized in the gut and modulate the immune system and dampen intestinal inflammation. Therefore, they are considered as p...
The evolutionary biology of crop plant DNA methylation
In this project, mC-EVOLVE, I aim to decipher the evolutionary principles governing crop plant methylation diversity. This newfound knowledge will unlock investigations into an und...
Free-electron Laser Quantum Optics
The advancement of quantum optics has ushered in groundbreaking fields like quantum information and quantum control. While free-electron lasers have traditionally been studied thro...
Science with citizens
Citizen science (CS) encompasses a variety of ways in which society engages with science, ranging from knowledge production to policy change. In recent decades, institutions around...
Control of Extreme Events in Turbulent Flows with Scientific Machine Learning
Climate change and the race to decarbonise our society is making extreme events in fluids more prevalent. These are rare events where the flow suddenly takes extreme states far fro...
In-silico simulations for early detection of abnormal bone loads to prevent the development of bony deformities
Bones are pivotal to long-term health, providing structural support and facilitating mobility. However, various patient groups commonly develop torsional bony deformities, leading...
Lysosomal exocytosis of metastable proteins to control synaptic function
The extreme length and small caliber of neuronal processes entail complex local regulation of protein turnover. In light of the high metabolic demand and dynamic protein exchange i...
Political Process Preferences in Europe: Rethinking Conceptual, Ontological and Methodological Foundations
To understand the levels of dissatisfaction with democratic performance in Europe, as well as the most effective reforms for addressing it, requires an understanding of citizens’ p...
Engineering pollen-independent seed and fruit production in crops
Seed development in most flowering plants is coupled to fertilization, which leads to the formation of two structures: the embryo, which forms the next generation; and the nourishi...
Reconstruction of global redox transitions based on an evolving Precambrian biological carbon pump
The history of life on Earth is intricately tied to the story of molecular oxygen (O2). Given that we breath O2 every day, the quest to understand its rise over billions of years i...
Revealing liver micrometastases in vivo using ultra-high definition MRI
Over 90% of cancer-related deaths are caused by metastases. A major obstacle for accurate patient stratification, development of new treatments against metastases and thorough biol...
Ultra-low Temperature SQUID NMR of Strongly Correlated Electron Systems
Quantum materials reveal their nature at low temperatures, where thermal fluctuations vanish and the system falls into its lowest energy state. However, this state is far from stat...
Unraveling the relative location of mixed-metals in multivariate metal-organic frameworks for tailor-made photocatalytic tandem reactions
Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) is a promising approach for mitigating CO2 emission and transforming it into chemical energy and value-added chemicals. In this con...
From origins to adaptations: tracing the fundamental steps of Darwin’s finch evolution
Rapid environmental and climatic changes threaten the world's biodiversity heritage, underscoring the importance of investigating species' adaptive potential. This task is now faci...
The Role of Military Equipment in Peacekeeping Operations: Advancing Knowledge on Mission Performance
When are peacekeeping operations (POs) successful? A leading answer from quantitative peacekeeping research is that mission size and personnel composition matter. The larger the de...
INtelligent System for Processing Intensive Reaction Electrochemistry
This project focuses on developing and implementing an automated organic electrosynthesis process of cyclopropane rings. Electrochemical (EC) methods, which often suffering from pa...
Investigating Morphological Effects on Charge-Carrier Dynamics and Surface Active Sites in Ferrite Thin Films using Time-Resolved Photoluminescence Spectroscopy and Surface Titration Techniques
This proposal seeks to explore the synthesis and characterization of thin film titania/ferrite Z-scheme materials, with an emphasis on elucidating the impact of morphology on charg...
Prototype Spiked Microcapsule based Oral Insulin Pill For Diabetes.
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic syndrome with millions of people affected globally, caused by impaired glucose metabolism due to insufficient pancreatic insulin release or the deve...
