Scalable quantum computing with continuous variable cluster states
Measurement-based quantum computation is a highly promising approach to quantum computing as it simply performs quantum processing directly through the measurements of a multi-part...
Noise in Fluids
Fluids, in complex regimes, show random features.The aim of this project is approaching several questions around the randomness of fluids by means of a theory that could be called...
Conveying Agent Behavior to People: A User-Centered Approach to Explainable AI
From self-driving cars to agents recommending medical treatment, Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents are becoming increasingly prevalent. These agents have the potential to benefit...
Multimodal Sensory-Motorized Material Systems
WHAT: MULTIMODAL will develop sensory-motorized material systems that perceive several coupled environmental stimuli and respond to a combination of these via controlled motor func...
3D diamond growth
Diamond, due its outstanding properties, is a desired material to coat various objects for medical, bioelectronics, optical, aerospace, marine and other applications.However, achie...
Digital Hate: Perpetrators, Audiences, and (Dis)Empowered Targets
The skyrocketing rise of digital hate can be considered the dark side of the democratizing power of the internet.Despite growing interest in the topic, there has never been a syste...
Custom-Made Designer Macrophages to Revolutionize the Safety of Parenteral Drugs
The iPYRO proposal is built upon the uniqueness of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and recent innovations in the farming of fully defined human macrophages (iMonoMac) u...
From Bildung to Learning Society. Philosophical Foundations and Mutations of a Modern Ideal
The main objective of this project is to compare the modern philosophy of Bildung and the contemporary paradigm of the Learning Society (LS) by systematically analyzing their homol...
Efficient and functional optical frequency conversion in 3D Nonlinear Optical Artificial Materials
Optical frequency conversion in bulk nonlinear crystals is used for generation of coherent light over the entire optical regime from extreme ultra-violet up to THz waves. This rema...
Innovation Residues – Modes and infrastructures of caring for our longue-durée environmental futures
Innovation residues designate those left-behinds of innovations that profoundly shape human lives as they stay with us for a long timewell beyond moments of production and consumpt...
Dispersals, resilience, and innovation in Late Pleistocene SE Africa
Genetic evidence suggests that successful modern human migration out of Africa is believed to have started c. 70,000-years ago, populating the whole world, at different rates and t...
Analysis of Biofilm Solid Interactions Underpinning Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater treatment (WWT) processes that use biofilms as their biocatalyst have been in use for over 100-years.Over the past few decades, a greater understanding has emerged on ho...
Computational imaging through scattering materials using speckle correlation
When viewed under coherent imaging conditions (e.g. laser illumination), scattering materials such as biological tissues create noise-like images known as speckle.Despite their see...
A New Perspective on City Logistics: Concepts, Theory, and Models for Designing and Managing Logistics as a Service
Several social, economic, and technological trends are coming together to revolutionize the way people, products, and services are brought together. Goods are gaining more mobility...
Lipid droplets as innate immunity hubs
Successful defence against invaders is critical for survival of eukaryotic cells.Microbes have developed many strategies to subvert host organisms which, in turn, evolved several i...
EXPANDing Immune Cells and their Tumor Antigens during checkpoint immunotherapy
Cancer immunotherapy using immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized the treatment of advanced-stage cancers.One of the major limitations of ICB is that durable responses...
Operando Interfacial Ionics
Electrochemistry provides direct control over the electron free energy and thus a path to electrically probe and drive chemical reactions.In strong contrast, no versatile technique...
Future storage systems for the energy transition: Polymer-based redox-flow batteries
The efficient storage of electric energy represents a major challenge for a successful energy transition, enabling the utilization of fluctuating renewable resources also as base l...
Beyond the tipping point: Cascading transitions in the behavioral and social sciences
Tipping points or phase transitions separate stable states in psycho-social systems. Examples are quitting smoking, radicalization, and dropping-out of school. Two knowledge gaps p...
Network epistemology in practice
The present project will contribute to research in the history and philosophy of science through extensive use of state-of-the-art tools from the digital humanities.The project wil...
