Optical imaging of retinal function for gene and cell therapies
For patients suffering from inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), gene and cell therapies offer hope of preserving or restoring vision. Retinal imaging is crucial, to first phenotype...
Engineering Interfacial Fluid Trapping for Localized Treatment of Brain Aneurysms
Intravascular medical treatments for cardiovascular diseases are progressing to include the ability to navigate to distal disease sites. However most approaches for localized treat...
War and Fun: Reconceptualizing Warfare and Its Experience
The overall goal of WARFUN is to offer a new understanding of war and soldiering through a study of the role and implications of fun for soldiers and veterans. An understanding of...
Automated Probabilistic Black-Box Verification
One of the longstanding challenges in Computer Science has been the development of methods and tools providing rigorous guarantees about systems’ behavior, performance, and securit...
Topological Explorations with a Clip: New Molecular Nanocarbons
The lack of synthetic control over the chirality of curved carbon nanostructures derived from graphene, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), prevents the development of molecular elect...
Laser remote sensing for monitoring air pollution over cities
Poor air quality in cities around the world is a major societal and economic issue, causing more than 5.5 million premature deaths and resulting in €4.3 trillion in welfare losses....
Model Catalysts for understanding Oxygen Evolution Reaction activity
Hydrogen is considered essential to reach the European Green Deal and Europe´s clean energy transition. Nowadays, most hydrogen is produced by reforming of fossil fuels. Electroche...
Imaging phase transitions in quantum materials
Strongly interacting electron systems lead to a wealth of competing phases, phase transitions, and quantum critical points. When probed globally, the inherent inhomogeneities, diso...
Post-transcriptional regulation of influenza A virus RNA
This research proposal aims to significantly alter our understanding of the critical role post-transcriptional processes play in the influenza A virus (IAV) life cycle. Post-transc...
Economics of Inattention
This proposal outlines an agenda that aims to improve our understanding of economies with inattentive agents. Attention to detail, not only to current news, but also to how the wor...
Graphene to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance
Today, antimicrobial resistance is emerging as a global burden, endangering our lives. Drug-resistant pathogens kill about 25,000 infected people solely in the European Union every...
Safety Analysis of Concurrent Systems
Software faults that evade testing can have serious consequences, not sparing economic damages or human losses. Recent developments towards multi-core processors have led to the in...
Line defects as building blocks of a defect-based quantum computer
A quantum computer is a device that exploits the quantum behaviour of its constituents (""qubits"") to solve a computational problem. One of the most promising ""hardware"" options...
JIU-JITSU WITH MISINFORMATION IN THE AGE OF COVID: USING REFUTATION-BASED LEARNING TO ENHANCE VACCINE UPTAKE AND KNOWLEDGE AMONG HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND THE PUBLIC
Vaccine hesitancy—the delay or refusal of vaccination without medical indication—has been cited as a serious threat to global health by the World Health Organization (WHO), attribu...
Role of Metabolic INteractions in the Eco-evolutionary dynamics of bacteRial communities in the VAgina
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a polymicrobial syndrome that modifies vaginal secretions and increases risks of reproductive complications and most sexually transmissible infections....
EUROPEAN PERFORMING SCIENCE NIGHT
The theatre company La Fura dels Baus (established in 1979) started a creative foundation Fundacion Epica to transfer -as informal training- the lessons learnt during the many deca...
Generalised Tree Automata, Monadic Second Order Logic and Transfer Principles in Combinatorial Limits
The project will concentrate on two main directions (MD), which are connected through them both relying on Monadic Second Order (MSO) and its variants. (MD 1) Shelah's conjecture...
Acoustic Foraging Network in African Penguins: significance and vulnerability to anthropogenic noise.
This project aims at assessing the existence and significance of a foraging network based on acoustic signals in a diving seabird, the African penguin. It is divided into three res...
AI-Enabled Mid-Air Haptic Texture Generation
“Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth” (Margaret Atwood, 2000), yet digital content today remains focused o...
Archaeological and Anthropological Unravelling of Chickens using Ancient DNA in Neotropical America
With three chickens for every human being at any given time, poultry production is a key agricultural player, providing an efficient source of protein to billions of people regardl...
