One molecule at a time: revealing cell-to-cell heterogeneity upon adaptation to metabolic stress
My goal is to quantify the effect of cellular heterogeneity on metabolic stress-induced protein aggregation.Based on my previous data, aggregation is a general stress response mech...
Dephasing for Good: Optimal Decoherence for Efficient Light Harvesting and Sensing
Waves acting in phase interfere. In the micro world, quantum interference strongly influences material properties. We will investigate such quantum materials including arrays of na...
Theory of light and current induced magnetic processes
Fundamental physical interactions such as the spin-orbit coupling can offer novel pathways to change controllably and fast the magnetic state of a material.In this project I aim to...
Integrated approaches to climate resilience in the uplands of Southeast Asia
Building on our previous research, we will combine our competences within natural and human geography, agricultural systems, ecology, sociology and rural development to analyse the...
POST-IONISATION AND FRAGMENTATION OF GAS-PHASE IONS FOR SINGLE ORGANISM ANALYSIS (PIFAGOR)
Biological mass spectrometry (BioMS) is based on volatilization and ionization of compounds of interest and measuring their mass-to-charge ratios.In order to derive structural info...
The impact of chlorine on atmospheric chemistry and air quality in the highly polluted Indo-Gangetic Plain
Delhi’s atmosphere contains the largest concentration of particulate chloride that has ever been observed. However, the ramifications of this for atmospheric chemistry and human he...
PlayGround - Embodied Affordance Grounding using Semantic Simulations and Neural-Symbolic Reasoning
While state of the art research can produce computational models of language and vision that enable machines to achieve several tasks, e.g. answer questions about images, localize...
Non-perturbative stable gene editing enabled by nanostraws
Training cells to fight disease is the future of medicine.Using gene editing technology, breakthroughs have been made that allow researchers to cure previously uncurable diseases.U...
In(ex)clusion in higher education mathematics and physics: Identity enectment in educational trajectories and scientific practices
The project takes a novel approach to understand processes of inclusion and exclusion in higher education mathematics and physics by focusing on the relationship between students’...
Biodiversity effects on the resilience of biological pest control under climate change
Climate change is one of the foremost environmental and societal issues of our time.With the ongoing emission of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, there is little chance to keep...
Recombination-rate variation, local adaptation and speciation under gene flow: a unifying theory
Chromosomal recombination is fundamental to local adaptation and speciation, but its role is yet to be understood.Initial progress of speciation under gene flow may be facilitated...
EpiTaG: Predicting Environmental Impacts on Future Generations by Delineating Causal Mechanisms of Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance
Human activities rapidly increase the burden of environmental stressors, like climate change or chemical exposures, leading to profound long-term impacts on humans and wildlife.Inc...
Quantum criticality and new quantum matter in two-dimensional Dirac materials
Dirac quantum criticality is an emerging field, combines major themes in modern condensed matter physics such as Dirac matter and strong correlations.It has connections to various...
Movements and Transitions in Everyday School Life
During a regular schoolday, pupils move in and between different classrooms, through corridors and assembly halls, into school dining halls or PE changing rooms. These places, and...
Promoting native tropical tree species for sustainable ecosystem services under climate change
This project aims to determining the sensitivity of montane and transitional rainforest tree productivity and survival to warming and drought to guide sustainable tree plantation a...
Robust Learning via Mutual Information Regularization
Recent results in information theory show that the generalization error of stochastic learningalgorithms is bounded by the amount of information that an algorithm (e.g., a neural n...
GreenDL: Green Deep Learning for Edge Devices
Deep Learning (DL) has been permeated into different aspects of our daily life due to providing extremely promising results for various learning tasks. Neural Architecture Search (...
Coupling electrochemistry and mechanics leads to new functionalities
Coupling electrochemistry and mechanics is the starting point of this project.Carbon fibre electrodes that electrochemically insert alkali ions like lithium expand, and can togethe...
Advancing knowledge on the epidemiology of African swine fever virus in Kenya
In East Africa, pig production is linked to household livelihoods, as a source of protein and income while significantly contributing to the national economy.However, pig productio...
Breaking the Resolution Limit in Two-Photon Microscopy Using Molecular Photoswitches
Multiphoton microscopy is a benchmark tool used for e.g. fluorescence imaging in cellular environments. Two-photon microscopy is typically used in this context.Theory foresees that...
