Hunting for Voters: The Impact of Data-Driven Campaigning on Democracy
Data-driven political campaigns are on the rise. Concerns have been voiced that practices like online political microtargeting techniques are harmful for democracy. These concerns...
3D Autonomous 2-PhoTon Optogenetics MICroscopy
Brain activity relies on complex interactions among large populations of neurons located in different brain regions. Understanding the relationships between these specific areas an...
Dynamic regulation of tissue response by matrix viscoelasticity
The mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) regulate processes during development, cancer and wound healing. The vast majority of research efforts in this field hav...
Diversity, stability and functioning of the soil microbiome
A major challenge for advancing our understanding of the functional role of highly complex soil microbial communities is to systematically link changes in their structure and funct...
Commercial Patterns Across the Sea: The interdisciplinary study of Maritime Transport Containers from Cyprus and the elucidation of Mediterranean connectivity during the Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age
Ancient ceramic vessels are not merely lumps of clay that were formed and fired to be utilised at some point in the past. They represent vigorous discourses among raw materials, te...
Discovery and Characterization of Third-Generation Nonlinear Photovoltaics
A central focus of leading investigations, the bulk photovoltaic effect is a nonlinear absorption process that converts light into electrical current intrinsically. The last few ye...
From hydrocarbons to original chiral building blocks: new solutions for sustainable & asymmetric CH functionalization of alkanes
Over the last decade, major environmental concerns, a growing worldwide population and an increasing energy demand, combined with the depletion of natural resources, have become cr...
Geometric Analysis and Potential Theory
This project aims to solve several long standing questions in geometric analysis by combining techniques from harmonic analysis, geometric measure theory, and free boundary problem...
BioAlkane
BioAlkane will provide the proof-of-concept for the economic and ecological feasibility of a new concept for the valorisation of waste fatty acids as alkanes useful for the energy...
Elucidating the Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms Underlying Neurodegeneration Using Advanced Stem Cell-Based Technologies
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disease. Despite the significant progress made towards unpacking the pathomechanisms of AD, the molecular...
Physics-constrained adaptive learning for multi-physics optimization
About a hundred trillion bytes of data has been created in the world while reading this sentence. Central to big data is machine learning, which is an automated way of transforming...
Nano bubbles: how, when and why does science fail to correct itself?
Science relies on the correction of errors to advance, yet in practice scientists find it difficult to erase erroneous and exaggerated claims from the scientific record. Recent dis...
Quasars in a Neutral Universe: Chronicling the History of Reionization, Enrichment, and Black Hole Growth
How the first luminous sources reionized diffuse baryons in the intergalactic medium (IGM) is one of the most fundamental open questions in cosmology. The latest CMB constraints s...
Team semantics and dependence logic
In the traditional so-called Tarski’s Truth Definition the semantics of first order logic is defined with respect to an assignment of values to the free variables. A richer family...
Medical First Responder Training using a Mixed Reality Approach featuring haptic feedback for enhanced realism
Mass-casualty incidents with injured persons caused by human-made or by natural disasters are increasing globally. In such situations, medical first responders (MFR) need to perfor...
MultiSensor sorting tools in a circular economy approach for the efficient recycling of PVB interlayer material in high-quality prodUcts from laminated glass coNstRuction and demolItion waStEs
Laminated glass is obtained by bonding glass layers using a polymeric interlayer. Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) is used as interlayer in laminated glass and their use in construction com...
Land-Based Solutions for Plastics in the Sea
There are 5,250 billion plastic particles floating on the surface on the world's seas and oceans, equivalent to 268,940 metric tons of waste. These fragments move with the currents...
Novel mechanisms of adaptive and innate bacteriophage immunity
Microbes are engaged in an evolutionary arms-race with their viruses and have evolved a spectrum of adaptive and innate defense systems to limit viral predation. Mechanistic insigh...
Multi-Qubit Photonic Devices
MultiQubit is built on the concept of a novel type of quantum dots — crystal-phase quantum dots — discovered and developed by the PI. Crystal-phase quantum dots have a unique advan...
MMP and Mirrors via Maximal Modification Algebras
Geometrically, this proposal is concerned primarily with Calabi--Yau threefolds, their (local) classification, their homological properties, various associated structures such as s...
