Decoupling IT? A Global Comparative Ethnography of the Role of IT in the Mitigation of the Climate Crisis
Climate change is one of the biggest existential issues of our time, and there is little global agreement on how to deal with it.Governments and private sector industries argue tha...
Multiple routes to memory for a second language: Individual and situational factors
Learning a second language (L2) after early childhood is a challenge, and learners differ not only in how well they rise to this challenge, but presumably also in how they do it.Fo...
X-chromosome biology and immune health in females
Females have a higher risk for autoimmune disease and lower risk of mortality from infectious disease than males, reflecting a more robust immune response in females against both s...
BioCHIPS - Biofabricated microfluidcs CHIPS based on self assembling of CNCs to recreate the hierarchical fibrillar structure of human tissues ECM
Biochips proposes an innovative bottom-up strategy to directly fabricate cell-laden devices that recreate the unique biophysical cues from the native fibrillar ECMs and allow the d...
Hit-to-Lead Development of potent broad-spectrum coronavirus fusion inhibitors
The Covid-19 pandemic emphasized the urgent need for efficient broad-spectrum antiviral drugs against potential future coronaviruses (CoV) strains that may cause the next COVID pan...
Integrated Niche Theory: linking environmental, compositional and functional change on coral reefs
Idea: CoralINT aims to deliver the ability to predict spatio-temporal change in biodiversity and the consequences of this change for ecosystem function.To achieve this aim, I will...
Bringing molecular photomagnets to light - achieving magnets through visible light excitation at room temperature
Visible light provided by the Sun is the cleanest energy source one could ever imagine.Harvesting it is crucial for further development of science and technology as well as for red...
Deep Brain Neuromodulation using Temporal Interference Magnetic Stimulation
Five out of ten diseases leading to long term-disability are related to the brain, including stroke, depression or dementia.Despite tremendous progress in neurotechnology, there is...
Closed-Loop and multisEnsing delIvery tool for controlled Laser Ablation of tumors
The need of a minimally invasive alternative to traditional cancer surgery is pushing the global market of thermal ablation devices, mainly for treating delicate organs (brain, pro...
Electrically Pumped Perovskite Lasers
Electrically pumped lasers are considered as a holy grail in the field of optoelectronics.Despite the success of lasers based on expensive epitaxially grown semiconductors, low-cos...
Scenarios and Principles for Antiferromagnetic Recording: taming spins coherently and ultrafast
Thermodynamics tells us that controlling the magnetic state of media at increasingly higher rates and simultaneously consuming less energy are mutually exclusive.This fundamental d...
Colonization, Early Institutions and the Origin of State Capacity and Democratization
My research project proposes studying the origin of state capacity, democracy and political dynasties using the colonial conquest of Latin America as a natural experiment.Much of t...
Completing the revolution : Enhancing the reality, the principles, and the impact of economics' credibility revolution
Applied economists routinely evaluate the effect of economic policies. For instance, what is the effect of raising the minimum wage on employment?Angrist & Pischke (2010) argue...
Minimally invasive endoscopes for neuronal activity monImaging-assisted single-cell specific activity monitoring and optogenetic stimulation of deep brain structures in motile and awaken animal models
Severe neuronal disorders such as dementia affect more than 1 billion people globally and account for economic burden far exceeding that of cancer.Our only chance of treating demen...
Versatile water vapour isotope calibration device (VISOR) for laboratory and field use
Climatic change will have large impacts on the global water cycle, and thus on hazardous weather and the availability of water to society. Earth observation from the ground and spa...
Next Generation Polymyxin Antibiotics: Optimization and Validation
In the NOVA ERC PoC project, we present a novel class of semi-synthetic polymyxins as an innovative solution to address the inherent toxicity of the polymyxins family of antibiotic...
UnRAVElling the dynamics of many-body open systems: Collective dynamics of quantum trajectories
With the flourishing of quantum information processing, the study of open quantum system dynamics has become of paramount importance for the ultimate success of quantum technologie...
Expanding our understanding of human evolution through pleiotropy
Teeth dominate the fossil and bioarchaeological records because they consist mostly of inorganic material. Consequently, dental anthropology has long been essential in our investig...
Deciphering cellular and molecular mechanisms of β-cell regeneration
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) therapy was shown to regenerate β-cells in mice, but this did not translate to human. Early or intensive insulin therapy maintains residual β-cell f...
New Foundations for Real-World Cryptography
Almost half a century after the invention of public-key cryptography, there is still a vast discrepancy betweenthe theory and practice of cryptography.With some notable exceptions,...
