Improved binaural hearing with bone conduction hearing aids
Hearing impairment affects approximately 1.5 billion people and the most common rehabilitation is a conventional hearing aid. However, some individuals require other types of techn...
Tackling the imminent risk of P. falciparum resistance to ACT in East-Africa: are two sequential ACTs better than triple ACT?
Global malaria case management is presently threatened by P. falciparum resistance to artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT).While awaiting access to new antimalarial compound...
Urban Street Trees for Optimizing Long-term provision of Ecosystem services in Ethiopia
Green infrastructure has proven to be a potent tool for addressing many of the most pressing urban environmental issues often arising when urbanisation is spreading fast, as is cur...
Greening of the Arctic: gradual or abrupt?
Climate change is increasingly warming up Arctic ecosystems and removing climate envelops for vegetation. In response, a general increased vegetation productivity trend (‘greening’...
Under the trees: Quantifying invisible changes in wetland water availability worldwide
Wetlands are vital ecosystems for the functioning of the Earth system. They are also necessary to achieve sustainable development. Water availability determines if wetlands can thr...
Ultrafast nonthermal spin dynamics in magnetoplasmonic nanomaterials
Photonics represents a great promise in overcoming the fundamental limits of electronics, since light is at the same time much faster and less dissipative, and can be manipulated o...
Inverse characterisation of the dynamic properties of fully anisotropic, anelastic materials
The objective of the current proposal is to study methods for inverse characterisation of acoustic porous materials with anisotropic and anelastic properties.This is performed in a...
Functional evolution of non-coding RNAs: A driving force for multicellularity?
The aim of the proposed project is to gain insight into the evolution of multicellularity.Traditionally, multicellular evolution has been studied from a protein-centered perspectiv...
Socially Embodied Artificial Intelligence
Today´s interactions with conversational interfaces are still mainly utilitarian and transactional because autonomous social decision-making is still unattainable in most embodied...
Microscale acoustofluidics-enabled single cell mechanotyping and nanoparticle separation
Microscale acoustofluidics, which refers to the ultrasonic manipulation of particles and fluids at microscale, relies on two second-order effect, i.e acoustic radiation force origi...
Regulation & Desensitization of Ligand-Gated Ion Channels
Pentameric ligand-gated channels mediate signals across the kingdoms of life, and are highly sensitive to modulators such as benzodiazepines, anesthetics or alcohol.Recent advances...
Rapid Control of Quantum Motion with Trapped Rydberg Ions
Quantum information processing is a rapidly developing field of research with a large variety of applications ranging from powerful quantum algorithms to simulations of complex qua...
Mechanisms promoting self-spinning of sub-micrometer continuous filaments from nanofibres
With the global quest for sustainability, there is a strong drive for developing bio-based alternatives to today´s materials, not only to replace fossil-based materials but also to...
A nonlinear model for acoustic-gravity waves
This project concerns nonlinear mathematical models and accurate numerical methods, for reliable prognosis of nonlinear acoustic-gravity waves from seismic events, such as volcanic...
Fundamental photophysical properties of DNA-templated silver nanoclusters
DNA-templated silver nanoclusters have come into prominence, because of their fascinating properties, including high absorption cross section and high fluorescence quantum yield. T...
Unlocking assembly chemistry of MXenes spanning diverse dimensions via ionic modification
Transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides, known as MXenes, are a fast-growing family of 2D materials, exhibiting a unique set of properties including excellent electri...
All-Synthetic-Polymer Sustainable Terahertz Technologies
The project proposes a transformative new technology realising the world’s first all-synthetic-polymer THz systems for completely replacing conventional energy and resource-depleti...
Surface X-ray Diffraction Tomography
We will develop Surface X-ray Diffraction Tomography as a tool for in-situ and operando surface structure determinations on polycrystalline samples.Surface X-Ray Diffraction (SXRD)...
Vegetation development in the Mediterranean region through the Cenozoic
The Mediterranean region (MR) is one of the richest plant biodiversity hotspots in the world and one of the most vulnerable regions in view of predicted climate and past tectonic a...
How do Cryosalt Mixtures Constrain the Near Surface Geochemistry on Mars?: Bridging Laboratory Analyses with Martian Remote Sensing data
Modeling of chlorides and perchlorates has shown that brines could take on a liquid form in near-surface environments on modern Mars and even some surface environments for short ti...
