Cortical hierarchy of memories - deciphering the neuronal mechanisms of serial dependence in the human brain
“Perception is never purely in the present–it has to draw on experience of the past.” O. Sacks illustrates a grounding principle in cognitive neuroscience: Eyes are not vision. Ins...
Conceptual Engineering, Inquiry and Communication
In our daily lives, we often take our concepts for granted.Yet, in particular circumstances, it may turn out that the concepts we use are defective in relevant respects, and need t...
The Underground Press during the Greek Civil War
After the liberation of Greece the leftist publications experienced a short period of legality.From 1944 until 1946 more than 300 newspapers and magazines were published; but they...
Low background techniques on particle detectors for Rare Event Searches
The nature of the Dark Matter (DM) is one of major open questions in modern physics with two interesting candidates: axions and Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). Axions...
Bounding Nuclear Exceptionalism
The demise of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2019 has rendered it impossible for Europeans to know whether the missiles that may fly over their territories carry a...
high-EfficienT piEzoelectRic vibratioN energy hArvester for raiL track system
Railway track and rolling stock interact with each other, forming a complex dynamic system which leads to structural degradation of railway assets with time, as such, pose a threat...
The Sound of Light: using underwater soundscapes to understand changes in coral reef communities exposed to artificial light at night
Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been rapidly increasing over the past century, causing widespread environmental change.This ALAN can interfere with biological and ecological s...
Social selection and social plasticity in virtual ecosystems
INTERACTIVE is a multidisciplinary project that aims to understand how and when social interactions maintain behavioural diversity.We test predictions rooted in ecological and evol...
Ancient Drivers of Adaptations in Plant Traits
The world has recently seen the worst wildfires in human living memory, including the ongoing siege of California wildfires and 2019-2020 Australian bushfires, which burnt 72,000 s...
The Judy Project: A Critical and Historical Investigation of Women and Puppetry from the Eighteenth to the Twenty-First Century
The Judy Project: A Critical and Historical Investigation of Women and Puppetry from the Eighteenth to the Twenty-First Century (JPEWP) is the first transhistorical examination of...
Constraining LAnd Responses by Integrating ObservatioNs
Climate-carbon feedbacks are a key unknown when projecting future climate change. Large ranges of feedbacks have been identified within the climate models used to make climate proj...
Gaining insights into Enzymes Transition States: Superacid as new tool to design specific CAZymes inhibitors.
Glycosciences study the structural and functional roles of carbohydrates in biology and have an increasing impact on many areas of our economy (health, food, natural resources).Car...
Humanitarian Aid, Politics and Religion: A Transnational History of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association from the 1920s to the present day
This project examines the religious dimension of practice, conception and reception of modern humanitarianism between Europe, the US and the Middle East in the XXth century up to r...
NOTsoQUANTUM: Realistic simulations of polaritonic chemistry
Polaritonic chemistry is an emerging field aiming to manipulate chemical dynamics and reactivity as well as material properties through the formation of polaritons.These are hybrid...
Neural Mechanisms of Action-Selection During Sensory Conflict
Prioritising the most urgent goal according to the context and physiological needs is crucial for the success of any organism.Action-selection processes are often disrupted in neur...
Catalytic activity Enhanced meChanisms Of TRANSition metal decorated N-doped carbon by precursor acid treatment
Among the next-generation of energy technologies, fuel cells and air batteries show great potential to meet our growing energy demands. However, their overall efficiency is severel...
Quantification of the participation of soils in the microplastic pollution cycle and evidence based model analysis of atmosphere to ocean soil microplastic interaction
There is little doubt that micro and nanoplastics (MnP) are in our soils across the globe.Numerous studies including my own have found that atmospheric deposition alone is enough t...
Abelianisation of Connections, Quantum Curves, and Spectral Clusters
This cross-disciplinary project lies at the interface of geometry, mathematical physics, perturbation theory, and integrable systems, combining techniques from algebraic topology,...
Dissecting and leveraging glucagon-like peptide-1 brain pathways in obesity
Obesity is a major health challenge in the EU and globally, and yet the best drug therapies achieve only modest reductions in weight loss and require life-long treatment.To prevent...
New, realistic and robust models for cryptocurrency volatility
Forecasting cryptocurrency volatility is a topic of interest in quantitative finance.A growing number of studies argue that compared to equty price cryptocurrency prices are to a l...
