His Enemies, Her Rivals: Gendered Expressions of Hostility in Ancient Indian Ritual Speech and Action, 1000 B.C.E.
This project will chart new territory in the study of the ancient Indian ritual texts of the Atharva-Veda (AV), the so-called magic Veda (c. 1000 B.C.E.).Because of its unorthodox...
Non-Equilibrium Field Theory of Molecular Rotations
At the interface between chemistry and physics, in this project we aim to develop a non-equilibrium field-theoretical approach to investigate molecular rotations in the presence of...
Identifying genetic and epigenetic changes underlying adaptation in the invasive species Drosophila suzukii
In the last few decades, problems related to the colonization of invasive species have become increasingly important at a global scale. Biological invasions are not only a threat t...
The racialized Leviathan: A History of state personifications, from Hobbes to Sarmiento
Political thought has always been permeated by personifications. A personification is the graphic or rhetorical representation of an abstract idea as a person.Thanks to the device...
Enabling Interlaminar Fracture Testing of MULTIdirectional composite LAMinates for safe and efficient structures
This project aims at solving long-standing problems affecting the characterisation of interlaminar properties of high-performance fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites.For the...
Sharing the Pronoun. Extreme violence, social resistance and the shaping of cultural memory in Spanish American contemporary documentary poetry
SHAPE proposes a new cultural approach to the study of 21st century Spanish American documentary poetry as a form of social and community resistance in the shaping of a shared memo...
Development of two-dimensional transition metal compound based efficient electrocatalyst for green H2 production
The rapid progress in intermittent solar, wind technologies has created an urgent need to develop parallel technologies of storing energy in forms that are suitable for on-site app...
RNA topology of test samples and single extracellular vesicles: how cells package RNA messages to communicate (RNA-top)
In RNA-top, I will investigate the precise location(s) and quantity of RNA associated with extracellular vesicles (e.g. EV-RNA topology).To achieve this goal, I will set-up innovat...
Nanoagent-based three-method treatment for atherosclerosis: Combination of thermal, mechanical, and drug-based methods
The aim of NanoTAS is to propose a novel three-method treatment for the atherosclerosis (AS) disease based on nano-structured agents (NAs), which incorporates three kinds of method...
Robust and accessible modelling for an effective management of agricultural soil erosion in Europe
Soil erosion represents a serious challenge for agricultural production and for the environment.Soil erosion impacts, such as reduction of fertile soil, alteration of the carbon cy...
Hybrid solid electrolyte for safer rechargeable sodium batteries with higher energy density
Electrification is one of major pathways to the decarbonisation of Europes transport and energy sectors, which will allow Europe to address the ambition to become the world first c...
Malaysian Reclaimed Landscapes: Urbanization, Heritage, and Sustainability along the Littoral
MaReLand is an interdisciplinary project and ethnographic study of land reclamation along the Malaysian littoral. Reclamation is the act of creating new land and artificial islands...
The Current Impact of Motorcycle Motorisation on Amazonian Indigenous Peoples
During the last century, the indigenous South American Lowlands have been colonized by steamboats, railways, trucks, chainsaws, fire-weapons and electric generators introduced by m...
Broadening the coverage of metabolites in faeces through advanced analytical strategies
The analysis of human faecal metabolites can provide an insight into metabolic interactions between gut microbiota and the host organism; furthermore, it can be instrumental to not...
Sorting and export of mucins.
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) affected more than 6.8 million people worldwide in 2017, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) caused 3.23 million deaths in 2019.Both i...
Neural encoding of novel and familiar proto-musical patterns in humans and monkeys
The capacity to perceive and produce music – musicality – has ancient but mysterious roots.While musicality is nearly ubiquitous across human ages and cultures, it seems to be scar...
Sugarcoating matters: Deciphering the effects of aberrant receptor N-glycosylation on oncogenesis and drug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia
During my post-doctoral studies, I have shown that sugarcoating of proteins, “N-glycosylation” specifically, is essential for the development and a potential therapeutic target in...
Actomyosin driven force-generation at the egg surface during fertilization
The fusion of two specialized gametes represents the starting point of life in sexually reproductive organisms.Despite this fundamental role in the creation of life, the molecular...
Green electrochemical synthesis and characterization of MXenes for sustainable energy
To minimize the consequences of climate change, stopping greenhouse gas emissions and thus decarbonization of the energy supply chain is crucial. A highly promising solution is the...
COGSTIM: Online Computational Modulation of Visual Perception.
Computational models of vision often address problems that have a single and definite end-point, such as visual recognition: an example of this might be to find a ripe banana in a...
