Linking the scales towards non-conventional polymer composite structures
The reduction of the environmental footprint of aviation relies on the development and fast deployment of lighter and more efficient polymer composite structures; however, the curr...
A Multi-fidelity Approach Enabling Automated High Precision in Cold Spray Repair
The EU's manufacturing sector is facing a crucial challenge to achieve ambitious sustainability goals in the transition towards a circular economy. While repair and remanufacturing...
Improving forest drought resilience through tree xylem eco-physiological mechanisms
Trees play a major role in Earths water and carbon cycles. Climate change puts trees under a growing threat of drought-induced mortality. This already happens in Europe, where summ...
Harnessing Localized Charges for Advancing Polar Materials Engineering
Semiconductor functionality hinges on the behaviour of excess charges, especially electrons and holes, crucial for storing, transporting, and converting energy. In certain semicond...
Innovative and sustainable carbon-based composites for high temperature sensible thermal energy storage
Although affordable solutions exist to store and recover heat from low temperature sources, the high temperature ones (> 550 °C) such as the concentrated solar and waste heat from...
Viral Narratives: The Role of Narratives for Economic Belief Formation
This proposal seeks to study economic narratives. Narratives may both shape expectation formation and influence economic decisions. Using large-scale experiments, this proposal see...
Ice Shelf Damage Characterization and Monitoring around Antarctica
The ice shelves of Antarctica act as giant dams limiting ice flow from the interior into the ocean. Recently, several of these dams have shown dramatic signs of damage. Once the ic...
A History of European Christian Anti-Antisemitism 1945-2020
This project sets out to study the history of the Roman-Catholic and the Protestant repudiation of antisemitism, which I call Christian anti-antisemitism, in Western Europe between...
Harmonising Observations and Underlying Principles for Visual Data Association
Visual data association aims to find task-specific mappings involving visual data. Two significant examples are the mapping of physics models to complex scenes for planning overtak...
In vivo Immunofluorescence-Optical Coherence Tomography
Current clinical medicine relies on MRI and CT for structural imaging, and immuno-PET/SPECT for molecular specificity. The combination of structural imaging and molecular specific...
Fundamental Understanding of Solar Driven Interfacial Evaporation using 3D hierarchical hybrid structures
Facing water scarcity that affects two-thirds of the global population, our planet's demand for sustainable solutions has never been more critical. Solar-driven interfacial evapora...
Tuning brain fate through modulation of chromatin remodelling
The mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodellers, the BAF complexes, are critical regulators of gene expression by modulating the accessibility of regulatory regions, especially of cell...
3D integrated photonic nanostructures with Giant optical nonlinearity
Photonics has a major impact on technological innovations and can revolutionize the field of computing and data processing due to its high bandwidth, speed, and low power consumpti...
Enhancing Synchrony in Autism: Introducing the MirrorPods-Intervention Platform
Autism, a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting millions globally, severely impacts the quality of life of individuals diagnosed with this lifelong condition, and that of their fam...
Memristive self-organizing dendrite networks for brain-inspired computing
Artificial Intelligence needs a hardware revolution to sustain the ever-growing demand of computing power in our society, where the huge energy consumption and environmental impact...
Beyond Turing: Reaction-diffusion mechanisms of embryonic self-organization
Developing embryos display a remarkable capacity for self-organization, generating diverse shapes, patterns and structures de novo. First conceived in the 1950s, Turing’s reaction-...
Climate Citizenship: Infrastructures, Environments, and Democracy in the Era of Climate Change
This project investigates how altering environments to adapt to or mitigate climate change depends on and stimulates changes in social contracts. Comparatively and ethnographically...
RIPLEY: Reliable Intelligence for Precise Large-area soft robot to Environment Interaction control
RIPLEY will pioneer the next generation of soft robots, empowering them for the first time to establish, maintain, and exploit multiple large-area contacts. Imagine assessing and f...
Modelling Forest Community Responses to Environmental Change
Forests encompass enormous biodiversity and provide a wealth of ecosystem services responsible for the health, well-being, and livelihoods of humans worldwide. As the climate chang...
Reconstruction of specialized metabolite evolution through molecular switches
Novel traits can provide fitness advantages and drive evolution. New specialised metabolites are traits that arose in different plant lineages, and even replaced existing metabolit...
