COntesting GOvernance by NUmbers: The Mobilizations of Food Delivery Couriers across Europe in Time of the Pandemic
In response to the rise of a new labour governance regime in the platform economy, militant forms of worker mobilization have recently emerged across Europe, exhibiting novel forms...
Predictive tools for turbulent combustion of hydrogen-enriched natural gas through carefully reduced kinetic mechanisms
The growing crisis of serious environmental degradation necessitates the demand for alternative fuels.Hydrogen-enhanced natural gas is playing an increasingly important role to dec...
Multimodal integration and population dynamics in the Deep Cerebellar Nuclei
The cerebellum is a key structure of the central nervous system that contains more than half the neurons of the brain. It is highly conserved across vertebrates and crucial for coo...
Designing high-reliability interconnection materials for accelerated modern electrification
The accelerated electrification in different sectors raises higher requirements on the reliability of electronics, which stimulates the demand for novel electronic interconnection...
Environmental response to mining expansion in Timočka Krajina
Aims to contribute to the improvement of the state of the environment in Timo¿ka Krajina, through raising awareness of the citizens so that they can actively participate in public...
Revealing Unseen Text with THz Waves
Safely stored in archives’ storages across the world, ancient handwritten books (codices) that are too fragile to be opened, page-turned, or unfolded, are not open to consultation...
OPtimal Transport for Identifying Marauder Activities on LiDAR
Illegal excavation of archaeological sites aimed at collecting historical material culture (""looting"") is a pressing problem on a global scale.The global upsu...
Fully integrated and CMOS compatible, nanoscale Quantum enhanced magnetic SENSors for scalable submiliHertz, room temperature Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy
Quantum enhanced magnetometers (QEM) based on nitrogen vacancy centres in diamond provide nanoscale spatial resolution and single atom sensitivity that can achieve magneto-optical...
How Artifacts Acquire Agency: Towards a Philosophy of Automation
The proposed project brings together the applicant, a promising early career researcher (Mark Thomas Young) with a prolific and internationally renowned supervisor (Mark Coeckelber...
Deep learning enhanced numerical simulations of mixed-dimensional models for subsurface flow
Exploiting the subsurface as an energy storage site is a crucial step to meet some of the challenges arising from energy production by renewable sources.For such applications, a pr...
Spatial dependencies of storm surges and global risk assessment.
An extreme still water level (ESWL) event caused by a single storm can affect multiple populations, critical services, and industrial sectors, thus magnifying the impacts of the ev...
Automata and Power in the Culture of Machines of Renaissance Florence, Milan and Venice (1400-1600)
This interdisciplinary project aims to innovatively fill a gap in the fast-growing historiography on automata, focussing on the social, cultural and material history of these types...
Designing Resonant Frames: How to Effectively Communicate about the Rights and Inclusion of Immigrants and Refugees?
Immigrant and refugee rights movements (IRRM) have lately shown success in providing temporary assistance and integration programs in numerous countries. However, they have mostly...
Wasp’s up? The molecular regulation of behavioural transitions in solitary wasps
Social insects exemplify a major transition in evolution and show how cooperative organisms can reach higher levels of social organization.To gain a deeper understanding of the mol...
The Impact of Polymer Dispersity and Monomer Sequence on Self-healing and Photodegradation of Dynamically Crosslinked Polymers
Dynamically crosslinked polymer materials (DPMs) have tremendous potential in the development of the next generation of smart functional materials.The presence of dynamic or revers...
Micron-scale Ice Core Reconstruction of Abrupt Climate Changes
Understanding natural climate dynamics is fundamental to anticipate, avoid, and assess mitigation potential for abrupt climate change, one of the grand challenges to global sustain...
Infrastructured lives: assembling politics and liveable life in contemporary Kenya
The proposed project focuses on mega-infrastructures in contemporary Kenya and provides an ethnographically-grounded theoretical account of social and political geographies of cont...
Population Dynamics of Polyploids: Testing the Mechanisms of Grassland Expansions in Madagascar
As a consequence of anthropogenic climate change, it has been hypothesized that human-mediated deforestation degraded closed-canopy forest into grasslands dominated by fire- and gr...
How did our ancestors use their feet? Evidence of bipedalism and climbing from internal bone structure.
During the course of human evolution, we have transitioned from the arboreal environment of our ancestors to become committed, terrestrial bipeds. These changes are reflected in ma...
Old crops for new insights: agricultural systems of broomcorn and foxtail millet cultivation in Iberia
In the middle of the second millennium BC, the spread of two new Asian crops (broomcorn and foxtail millet) throughout Europe led to major socio-economic changes. However, despite...
