Greenhouse Gas and Pollutant Emission Reductions using Plasma-Assisted Combustion for a Blue Planet
To fight climate change, we must urgently reduce the CO2 emissions caused by fossil-fuel combustion, which represents today over 80% of the primary energy production. Clean electri...
Climate change and Fossil Fuels
To halt climate change, the 2015 Paris Agreement implicitly requires leaving fossil fuels (FF) underground (LFFU) and coherent financial flows.This implies stranding huge amounts o...
Quantitative Models of Cities
One of the most striking empirical regularities is the huge divergence in economic activity both across and within countries.Within countries, this is most clearly illustrated by t...
Production, Trade and Governance: a New Framework for the Understanding of Organized Crime
There is a consensus that organized crime (OC) is harmful and its profits are immense.Yet the concept of OC itself lumps together people engaging in very different activities—from...
Emergent Complexity from strong Interactions
The least understood part of the so successful Standard Model of the strong and electroweak forcesis the formation of strongly interacting composites, like hadrons, atomic nuclei a...
ROBOtic Replicants for Optimizing the Yield by Augmenting Living Ecosystems
Earth's ecosystems are in a rapid decline of species diversity and abundance.One of the most affected groups is honeybees, a keystone species that play a key role in pollinati...
A charming decade: using colliders to probe the charm sector of the Standard Model and Beyond
This proposal enriches the huge potential of flavour physics to discover and test fundamental properties of particle physics, by focusing on the unexplored charm flavour sector.The...
Material Minds: Exploring the Interactions between Predictive Brains, Cultural Artifacts, and Embodied Visual Search
Do the worlds we build alter our own minds and the ways we process information?Do the material structures of our settlements, buildings, roads, and artefacts actively change patter...
Rhizosphere microbiome recruitment by plants : Expansion of microRNA roles
An innovative strategy for sustainable ‘green’ agriculture to substitute to the use of fertilizer and pesticides is urgently needed.In plants, the micro-organisms of the rhizospher...
Antibiotic persisters during infection: a tail of intestinal dominion
Persisters are transiently non-growing bacteria cells that evade antibiotic treatment and immune response.Persisters have been associated with antibiotic treatment failure and the...
understanding PLAstic pollutioN effects on the biogeochemical cycle of ElemenTs
Plastic and microplastic pollution is a global environmental and societal concern. While focus has been placed on assessing the direct impacts on biota, indirect ecological effects...
Effective Equations for Fermionic Systems
The goal of this project is to substantially improve the understanding of the non-equilibrium dynamics of large fermionic systems and their interaction with the quantized electroma...
Reconstructing the 4D space of intracellular lipid phase separation and lipid droplet biogenesis
Lipid droplets (LDs) are neutral lipid (NL) storage organelles, central for cellular metabolism.Current models of LD biogenesis postulate that synthesis of NLs in the ER bilayer fa...
Efficient CO2 capture and valorisation with 3D printed catalytic reactors
CO2 is the most abundant renewable carbon source in nature and considerate the major greenhouse gas. The development of carbon neutral processes plays a major role against climate...
The political economy of management consulting firms in emerging economies: Evidence from illicit financial networks in Brazil and South Africa
Over the last 10-years, cases of corruption and money laundering involving management consulting firms multiplied in the global South.They cast doubts on these firms claims to help...
Thalamic Control of Sensory Information Selection
We perceive the world through a multitude of sensory stimuli simultaneously arriving through our five senses . The appropriate selection and integration of this information is cruc...
Emotion Regulation Deficits among People at Risk for Suicide
Suicide is a leading cause of death. One factor associated with risk for suicide is emotion regulation deficits. There is evidence linking suicide risk with self-reported difficult...
Mechanistic basis of host infection and intracellular development in microsporidia
Microsporidia are emerging pathogens of high priority that infect humans, and most animals.Microsporidiosis can be life-threatening and cause severe damage in the eyes, brain, musc...
IST-BRIDGE: International postdoctoral program
The IST-BRIDGE program will host 60 fellows across the life sciences, mathematics and computer science, and the physical sciences recruited over 5 globally advertised calls.BRIDGE...
Collaborative frameworks for integrating sound within urban design and planning processes
Sound-Frameworks is an action-led research project that explores the role of sound in urban design and city planning.Through this fellowship, the experienced researcher Sven Anders...
