Collaborative learning of wave energy converters
This project aims to develop new types of control algorithms for wave energy conversion.Compared to other renewable energy technologies wave energy conversion have the advantage of...
Theory of modern spectroscopic methods at nanometer scale
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful tool in modern material research and nano-technology.Since the development of aberration correctors around the turn of millenia...
Computational driven design of programmable materials and structures
In this project, optimization methods will be integrated with simulation techniques of non-linear structures and materials. A successful project will enable optimal design of funct...
Evolutionary genomics of the migratory behaviour in closely related songbirds
The migratory behaviour of songbirds is genetically hard-wired, but so far, the genes as well as how these can guide birds to reach distantly located wintering areas remain unknown...
Sexual Abuse of Authority: Taking Action against Sextortion in Tanzania
Sextortion occurs when a person with entrusted authority abuses it to obtain sexual favors in exchange for a service or benefit which is within their power to grant or withhold (El...
Assessing Benzothiadiazole Derivatives and Analogues as Catalysts for Fuel Production
This project aims at development and investigation of a new class of small organic molecular catalysts based on benzothiadiazole derivatives and analogues for electrocatalytic and...
Improved analyses of Arctic climate change and its impacts on mid-latitude climate in a multi-century context from climate proxies and models
The Arctic warms at an unprecedented pace, and impacts include sea ice loss, glacier/permafrost melt and ecological changes.There are also indications that Arctic warming also affe...
Enhancing Ocean Literacy with Virtual Reality
Educational science has a critical role to play in mitigating the current worrisome environmental situation. The ocean covers over 70% of the planet, and its health urgently needs...
Riemann–Hilbert methods in partial differential equations, integrable probability, and random matrix theory
In the 1850´s, Riemann considered the problem of determining an analytic function in a domain of the complex plane from certain relations between the real and imaginary parts of it...
Simultaneous Scattering and Tribological Investigations of Sheared Thin Soft Matter Films under Low Pressure
The study of mechanically confined soft materials is central to the understanding of interactions that lead to adhesion, lubrication and colloidal stability.Force measurements have...
Lamination of brick-and-mortar cellulosics with nanocomposite bricks and weak interfaces
Lamination with weak interlaminar interfaces is explored to extend the property range of transparent cellulose nanocomposites, combining structural and functional properties. Each...
Studying the effects of teachers’ professional development through quasi-experimental analyses of TIMSS and PIRLS
Recent meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials have found statistically significant effects of teachers’ professional development (PD) on teaching and student achievement.How...
The Next Generation of Learning Machines: A Nonconvex Design
The motivation behind this proposal is the observation that the current gold standard of Machine Learning, i.e., empirical risk minimization with convex regularization (R-ERM), is...
Artificial Molecular Machines in Biosystems
Molecular machines are used by Nature in almost every conceivable biological task, and during the last decades construction of artificial molecular machinery has also blossomed int...
Using stable-isotope vibrational microspectroscopy to reveal hyphal scale interactions and competition between ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi
Interguild fungal interactions and competition for resources in soils significantly affect overall functioning and productivity of fungal community and, in turn, soil biogeochemica...
Insect farming for feed production and organic waste management in Benin
Depleted soil fertility, increasing demand for livestock products and the generation of waste require research into sustainable alternatives to food and feed production and waste m...
Community Health Workers to achieve universal health coverage: Building on the Latin American legacy
A renewed interest in community health workers (CHWs) programs was sparked globally in the 2000s by a sense of urgency in attaining Universal Health Coverage.Despite this interest,...
Genetic predisposition to severe infectious diseases, with a special focus on archaic gene variants
An obvious question, which has been higlighted during the current pandemic, is why some people suffer from a mild illness while other experience a more severe course of an infectio...
Pain in the ultrafast lane
The textbook view is that pain in humans is signaled at a slower speed than touch.Conduction speed is important for several downstream processes and critical in clinical testing to...
Teacher and influencer? Social media as arena for professional practice
On various social media teachers produce and share material with students, whom they don’t meet regularly in class. This form of teaching challenges a former view of the didactical...
