The structure and growth of Hochschild (co)homology
This project will combine methods from commutative algebra, representation theory and rational homotopy theory to improve our understanding of Hochschild homology and cohomology, e...
Finding the Lost Library: Hernando Colón's Dispersed Books Worldwide
The overarching aim of the FILOL project is to track down for the first time the dispersed books from Hernando Colns Universal Library.In the early 16th century, Hernando Coln (148...
Breeding for coffee and cocoa root resilience in low input farming systems based on improved rootstocks
Fruit tree crops (FTC), represented by more than 50 species grown on over 100 M Ha, are strongly affected by climate change (CC).Thanks to grafting, rootstocks can confer enhanced...
Diaminodicyanoanthroquinodimethanes: Electrically driven molecular micromotors
Electric field-powered Micro/Nano motors (e-MNMs) are tiny devices that convert electric energy into mechanical movements. e-MNMs are the potential candidates for the range of appl...
Using Human Rights to Change Abortion Law: Involvement Patterns and Argumentative Architectures in the Global Figuration of Human Rights
Abortion laws are the crux of human rights diversity today. Abortion laws evidence best how differently human rights meanings are construed in various local settings. However, we k...
Non-Stationary Non-Homogeneous Turbulence
A wide range of radical technological breakthroughs are needed across all industries and engineering because of the dramatic current climatic, environmental and population growth c...
Developing novel single-cell technologies to model and perturb intra-tumor interactions and signaling – an innovation program for the next generation of immunotherapies
Single-cell genomic technologies have transformed many fields of research. We here seek to do just that in synthetic-immunology and immunotherapy.At present, our understanding of t...
Particle distribution dynamics in nonlinear bifurcating networks
Bifurcating networks are ubiquitous in nature such as vasculature/pulmonary networks, kidney urinary tract, and branching in plants.In addition to their role of transporting the ca...
The Old, the Young, and the Uncertain Future: Using High-Dimensional Stochastic Overlapping-Generations Models to Evaluate Fiscal Policies that Shift Risk and Resources Across Generations
Policy decisions about government borrowing, taxation, and spending have a differential impact on generations and thus imply substantial intergenerational transfers.The costs and b...
Using lake sediments to reconstruct soil weathering trajectories over the Holocene
Chemical weathering is a central biogeochemical process that shapes the Earth’s Critical Zone (CZ), regulates the global carbon cycle and sets the pace for nutrient delivery to soi...
Masters of the stone: The stonecutters' workshops and the rise of the late antique epigraphical cultures (third-fifth century AD)
The STONE-MASTERS project aims at exploring one of the most startling problems in the global history of research on collective memory and commemorative practices - the transformati...
Colloidal control of multi-phase flow in geological porous media
The COCONUT project aims at developing predictive capabilities to understand how colloids (nanometals, fine particles, bacteria, viruses, asphaltenes..) control immiscible two-phas...
Market Access and Economic Development
A huge challenge for research and policy efforts to accelerate economic development is that firms in poor countries grow surprisingly slowly, making job creation in the “Global Sou...
Towards a computational account of natural sequential behavior
Imagine navigating through your kitchen, walking around your table and chairs, reaching the counter, sliding a cup on the countertop, pouring yourself some coffee, and preparing a...
Reversing T cell dysfunction in cancer by multimodal genetic screening
T cell dysfunction is a key problem in cancer, enabling not only tumorigenesis but also causing resistance to immunotherapy.Induction of immune checkpoints is a hallmark of T cell...
Coming to Terms: Proof Theory Extended to Definite Descriptions and other Terms
The project is concerned with two areas which so far have rarely come together: complex terms and proof theory.ExtenDD focuses on definite descriptions as the most important and tr...
Organ and mutation dependencies shaping the tumor microenvironment
Tumors are ecosystems in which cancer cells interact with diverse cell populations.In each such ecosystem, environmental conditions, cellular compositions and paracrine signaling c...
Sustainable and healthy food solutions: system dynamics and trade-offs
Food systems are crucial to end hunger, but also to mitigate and adapt to climate change, to protect and restore biodiversity, to ensure human health and well-being, to end poverty...
Feedback between population dynamics and evolution of interactions in a tri-trophic system
Predicting ecosystems response to ongoing environmental shifts is a major challenge in ecology and evolution, which is tightly linked with the eco-evolutionary feedback loop. Howev...
Towards Future Interfaces With Tuneable Adhesion By Dynamic Excitation
Macroscopic adhesion is of utmost importance in key technologies such as soft and climbing robots, aerospace grasping technologies, human-robot interactions, pick-and-place manipul...
