Upcycling plastic wastes: biopolymers for a circular economy
BIOP aims to address one of the most critical environmental issues derived from human activities, plastic wastes.Far from having a suitable alternative to palliate their impact and...
GOOD OR BAD BUGS, FRIEND OR FOES: UNRAVELING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MUTUALISM AND PATHOGENICITY IN BURKHOLDERIA SPECIES
What better microbial challenge to unite agricultural and medical microbiologists than a microoorganism that reduces an onion to a macerated pulp, protects crops from diseases, dev...
Indirect Magnetic Interactions: Tuning by Electric Field
With silicon-based electronics nearing its limits, spintronics and quantum computing have emerged as technologies promising unprecedented amounts of computational power.One of the...
Employment of Advanced Deep Learning and Human-Robot Interaction for Virtual Coaching
The main objective of this project (DR VCoach) will be the following: “Design and implement a robotic coach able to propose a proper exercise schedule based on human directives, mo...
A novel physics-based methodology for the seismic analysis of retaining structures leveraging machine learning techniques
The standard seismic design of retaining structures is based on a century-old theory, that does not account for the actual physical behavior of soil-structure systems. This theory...
Napoleonic Job Applications: from Personal Pleas to Modern Curriculum Vitae in Early 19th-Century Europe
Today, knowing how to write a curriculum vitae is essential to getting the job you want, proving your knowledge and skills.Even if these two elements are now at the core of the pub...
Migrant Authors from Southeastern Europe and the Transfer of Intangible Heritage
Migrant Authors from Southeastern Europe and the Transfer of Intangible Heritage (MASETIH) examines how intangible heritage (i.e. heritage that is mobile, dynamic and performative...
Reconstructing the Past: Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Meet Cultural Heritage
Our goal with this project is to develop a ground-breaking technology to virtually eliminate one of the most labour-intensive and frustrating steps in archaeological research, name...
Temporal Dynamics of Transient Attention
To identify a target in a dynamic environment, attention must be allocated to the target’s at the right time.Temporally selective attention allows us to discriminate a briefly pres...
Visually Attractive Photovoltaic Panels without Efficiency Loss
Photovoltaic (PV) technology has proven to be the most promising, economic, and clean solution to the global energy crisis.Over the years, tremendous advancements have been accompl...
The Division of Ethics from Political Philosophy: Kant and Baumgarten on Right, Virtue, and Justice
Ethics and political philosophy are integral to human individual activities and social interactions, and yet modern philosophy since Immanuel Kant has reinforced the separation of...

Digital Folklore as Critical Heritage Production and Participation in Contemporary Norway
Digital folklore – digitally (re)produced and mediated vernacular cultural expression – is a form of active, ongoing and self-including heritage production that gives us insights i...
The neoMONSTERS Within: The Others in India’s Science Fiction
The Science Fiction (SF) of a spatio-temporal location is a window into the soul of a people. It manifests the “cultural unease” that specific identities evoke in the national imag...
Combining Machine Learning and Quantum Chemistry for the Design of Homogeneous Catalysts
While machine learning (ML) methods are already commonly applied in heterogeneous catalysis, the use of such methods for the design of homogeneous catalysts is a largely overlooked...
Development of a Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation Technology for Valorisation of Ulva spp. from Macroalgal Blooms
Uncontrolled macroalgal blooms, also known as green or golden tides, is an increasingly frequent global phenomenon and is partly attributed to the increased eutrophication of the m...
Effects of climate change on adult body size: Towards an integrative approach to understand the underlying mechanisms, the consequences across the lifespan, and improve our predictive ability
Changes in adult body size have become a flagship response to climate change.In organisms with a finite growth, as mammals and birds (higher vertebrates), it is thought to result f...
