Projet RAMIFICATIONS (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : SIGNED

RAMIFICATIONS investigates the central role of the contemporary artists’ periodical in mediating and driving shifts in the art, communication and publishing systems. Since the early 2000s, artists’ periodicals have become sprawling and live structures, engendering new business models and expansive modalities, collaborations and networks. These periodicals, produced by artists as part of their own language and work, offer a rich opportunity to analyse the expanded field of art publishing and to think critically about contemporary art’s fluid, accelerated and networked expressions. Deep art historical questions concerning art’s autonomy, the meaning of public, collectivity, communication and knowledge in current artistic and publishing practices will be explored through a cross-disciplinary, case study and practice-enhanced approach that will offer the theoretical vocabulary and practical tools to comprehend the fluidity and expansiveness that this project aims to investigate. Curating an artists’ periodical exhibition, conceiving and hosting a 4-episode podcast on art publishing and organising an international workshop on expanded publishing, will not only complement the research’s findings, but outline new directions in this growing field of study. By focusing on 3 global artists’ periodicals—e-flux, Chimurenga and White Fungus—the research contributes to the wider goal of giving voice to marginal stories, situated outside of the North-Western axis. Studying and communicating these histories and contributions to the developments of 21st century art is an important step towards changing public perceptions, encouraging inclusivity and correcting inequalities in the way art is interpreted. The GF will be carried out at the San Francisco State University, Università Iuav di Venezia and at the Triennale di Milano to develop my skills and competencies and allow me to become a leading scholar in contemporary art history and publishing.

Projet NUTCLIME (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

At a global level, the management of contaminated sites (including soils) is gaining relevance in environmental and political agendas. Metal contamination in soils poses an important risk to environmental and human health. Even though research on metal contamination has received plenty of attention over the last decade, major knowledge gaps exist about the impacts of metals on nutrient cycling processes. Even less is known about the coupled effects of metal contamination and climate change conditions on phytoremediation efficacy and associated nutrient dynamics in the soil. The NutCliMe project (Impacts of Metal and Climate change on Nutrient cycling in the rhizosphere of phytoremediating plants) aims to disentangle the interplay of nutrient dynamics and soil microorganisms in the rhizosphere of metal-hyperaccumulating plants used for metal extraction under today and future climate conditions. This will be accomplished by studying a model plant for metal-hyperaccumulation, Arabidopsis halleri. Plants will grow in rhizoboxes and in fully controlled greenhouse chambers with temperature and CO2 concentration based on today’s and the IPCC Rcp 8.5 scenario climatic conditions. The combination of isotope pool dilution assays with transcriptomics will allow to assess how metal contamination and climate change affect key process rates in nutrient cycling and its linkage with the active microbial community composition in the rhizosphere. The integration of zymography, pore water sampling, µ-XRF elemental mapping, and gene amplicon sequencing analysis will elucidate the interplay of roots and soil microorganisms in the spatial distribution of nutrient cycling enzymes, and the availability of metals and nutrients. The outcomes of this project are also expected to provide valuable information about how nutrient fluxes are primarily affected and are limiting plant growth and metal accumulation, which may be helpful to improve phytoremediation and phytomining.

Projet MELA (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

Successful communication in humans critically depends on two aspects of language development: how many words we know (vocabulary growth) and whether we know how to combine them to understand and express meaningful ideas (semantic organization). This fellowship is designed to examine the role of early language environment in shaping these two aspects of language development. This aim will be addressed by conducting a longitudinal investigation of lexical development between 9 and 18 months of age. This will make it possible to map the structure of individual parents’ speech to the individual language development of their children. The focus on individual development promises not only to advance our theoretical understanding of typical development, but also to inform theory-based enrichment programs for atypical lexico-semantic development. To achieve these aims, the proposed research will strengthen connections between two fields in infant research, language acquisition and semantic development. Additionally, it will use a combination of complementary methods: analyses of naturalistic language input, parental reports, experimental paradigms, and cognitive modeling. Bridging the two research fields through a multi-method approach places this fellowship at the intersection of the fellow’s current expertise and the research lines currently active at the host institution (BCBL). Specifically, the semantic development aspect builds on the fellow’s strong background in category learning and lexico-semantic organization, while the language acquisition part aligns closely with the BCBL’s research lines. On the methodological side, the fellow will bring expertise in experimental designs, while skills related to the longitudinal approach, infant research, and cognitive modeling are those that the fellow will develop by training during this fellowship. Hence, this fellowship will strongly support the development of the prospective fellow’s independent line of research.

Projet PSMGDPP (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

In recent years, much attention has been given to phase separated metallic glasses (MGs) which provide a unique opportunity for designing composites or alloys with hierarchical microstructure at different length scales. The structure and physical properties of phase separated MGs have characteristics different from those of other MGs. Many theoretical efforts have been undertaken to understand the origin of phase separation in MGs; yet the understanding of the mechanism is insufficient.  This project aims to synthesize new MGs by alloying addition, aiming to understand the genesis of phase separation. The effect of alloying addition on phase separation and properties will be investigated. Such studies will help to understand the structure (microstructure)-property co-relations. The results of these investigations will be used as a guideline to modify the synthesis process to accomplish the main objectives, namely to obtain materials with desired properties. Novel glassy-nanocrystalline dual-phase MGs with high toughness and ductility will be designed that will provide an important insight for industrial application. In addition, we will explore the possibility of fabricating nano-porous foams and nano-filters in MGs. The nano-porous network structure in phase separating MGs has potential to be applied for many engineering applications. The project will be conducted at Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ESIÖAW) under Prof. Jürgen Eckert’s supervision. ESI-ÖAW has internationally-leading expertise in the associated areas and Prof. Eckert is one of the world’s leading scientists in MGs and nanostructured materials. Based on the high reputation of the host and the strong track record of the applicant, it is believed that this research will bring a significant impact for Europe to have a leading position in science, and for the host and applicant to have an excellent career development.

Projet EURO Reading (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2024)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Reading acquisition primarily relies on acquiring novel orthographic forms. In this process, efficient decoding of orthographically novel words can be difficult due to the unpredictability of the written-spoken language relationship. Thus, children are forced to develop strategies for effectively acquiring novel words. The main goal of my project is to investigate the compensatory strategies employed by novice readers. I will study two compensatory strategies: one suggests employing a larger processing grain during decoding for better accuracy, based on the Grain Size Theory, while the other recommends using contextual cues to learn despite decoding inaccuracies.  Given the predominant focus on English monolinguals in behavioral and computational studies and the central role of language opacity in reading, I will focus on languages with varying degrees of opacity. Additionally, I will also study reading acquisition among bilingual individuals, considering the widespread prevalence of bilingualism in Europe, an area that has been relatively under-explored.  In the study of compensation strategies, I identified both computational and behavioral research needs in the literature. Therefore, in this project, I propose a computational study to define a reliable opacity measure. Building on the computational model of reading acquisition I developed during my PhD, I also aim to simulate the Grain Size Theory, and implement a bilingual reading acquisition model to simulate relevant behavioral data. Additionally, I will conduct cross-linguistic behavioral studies on context effects, including both monolingual and bilingual individuals.  Cross-linguistic comparisons will help improve the generalizability of findings, addressing an urgent need in the literature. This multidisciplinary approach will also strengthen the links between theoretical cognitive mechanisms and behavioral effects, thereby improving our knowledge of compensation strategies during reading acquisition.

Projet FPrevision4cohesion (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2024)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Economic Sciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

In an effort to boost industrial competitiveness and address societal challenges through excellence research, the European Framework Programmes (FPs) have been concentrating resources in a core of top-performing research institutions. But pursuing excellence at the expense of cohesion is a risky endeavour, as it can exacerbate inter-regional economic disparities. FPrevision4cohesion aims to unravel the impact of competitive FP research funding and different policy designs on the structural and spatial dynamics of the European scientific network. Developing a comprehensive picture of FPs’ influence on knowledge distribution and inequality is critically needed if we are to avoid deepening existing innovation divides and guide cohesion efforts in a targeted way. If convergence is understood not as mere redistribution of funds from core to peripheral regions, but as sustained support for the periphery's research and innovation capacity, we need deeper insights into the FPs' role in consolidating or fragmenting collaborative core-periphery ties. The project will adopt a novel counterfactual analysis, comparing for the first time the impact of funded to non-funded FP projects using network science techniques. This approach offers significant advancements over existing studies which rely almost exclusively on funded FP collaborations and are therefore limited in their capacity to isolate causal effects. The analysis is meant to not merely quantify impact, but also highlight how the structural links between core and peripheral organisations could be strengthened, and how different policy instruments with a top-down vs bottom-up intervention logic influence the process. FPrevision4cohesion aspires to guide both research and policy in balancing competitive programmes with convergence efforts, and directly responds to recent calls for more research on synergies.

Projet SolarHyValue (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Physics
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The role of solar energy and the need for clean fuels (such as hydrogen) is essential in achieving a net zero future. A sustainable way of green hydrogen generation is photoelectrochemical water splitting, which uses only solar energy and water to produce green hydrogen and concomitantly oxygen. This technology, however, with the currently demonstrated efficiencies is not cost-competitive. A less explored application of photoelectrochemical devices is the generation of a value-added oxidation product from abundant polymeric waste materials (e.g., biomass, plastics), instead of the low market value oxygen. Such a device can lead to a reduced energy consumption (compared to water splitting), as well as high market value anodic product. Excitingly, in this approach green hydrogen is generated as a by-product (virtually free) on the cathode. The SolarHyValue project proposes the use of perovskite and organic photoactive layers with a protective sheet to fabricate stable photoelectrodes for simultaneous solar hydrogen and value-added product generation. Efficient bias-free operation of waste valorisation with photoelectrochemical device was only demonstrated with expensive precious metal catalysts (platinum, palladium). The proposed large bandgap caesium lead halide perovskite layer has the potential to enable bias-free, and at the same time efficient photocurrent generation even with the use of solely earth-abundant materials. This will be allowed by the novel device design and the development of a transition metal dichalcogenide (MoS2) catalyst doped at its basal plane with non-precious metal heteroatoms, resulting in excellent catalytic activity. Through increased scientific understanding the SolarHyValue project will lead to the first ever demonstration of a photoelectrochemical device that allows simultaneous, bias-free production of solar hydrogen and value-added product relying solely on inexpensive materials.

Projet SPIN (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The aim of the SPIN project is to assess the emergence of pottery wheel-throwing and potters’ skill in 100 BC – 400 AD Eastern Alps, that would become the Roman province Noricum. Adopting a novel method to identify continuous and divergent learning trajectories, the transmission of technological knowledge will be elucidated, while also considering Roman expansion that had an impact on the scale and organisation of pottery production. As an important hub for trade networks, Noricum is an excellent case study to understand how and why wheel-throwing can be differently adopted by craft communities and how important social interactions are in the assimilation of the new technique. The earliest stratigraphic contexts in Noricum comprise both handmade and wheel-thrown pottery, yet the implications of such co-existing divergent technological traditions remain poorly understood. Why did some communities adopt the wheel-throwing technique, and why did others reject it? The SPIN project combines archaeological approaches with aspects of social anthropology relating to potters’ skill, together with a host of archaeological science techniques, including OM, XRF, XRPD, isotope analysis and SEM. It also incorporates, in an innovative manner, SANS analysis, experimental replication, as well as Digital Humanities (e.g., GIS and SNA), to gain insight in the scale and output of production and to assess the impact of expanding Roman culture on workshop location and organisation. By distinguishing distinct learning traditions, the project holds the key to understanding the norms and traditions that regulated ancient craft communities. This permits ground-breaking insights that challenge apparent generalisations about the adoption of pottery wheel-throwing, particularly regarding underlying social networks among craft communities, and it will highlight social interactions between them and other communities in Noricum.

Projet X-KIN (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Research context During the past decade, the “ancient DNA revolution” has reopened key questions about prehistoric kinship that within archaeogenetics is narrowly viewed as genetic proximity. From a socio-cultural anthropological perspective, however, kinship is not only a biological but also a performative and imaginary principle for structuring and maintaining social relations. Frequently, it is not blood but houses that play a crucial role in forming kinship relations. Therefore, a unified study of dwelling spaces and biological markers of kinship is crucial to understanding kinship in prehistory. Research questions • How can the material structures such as settlements, buildings, artifacts, and biological markers be read as ‘material codes’ of prehistoric kinship? • How can ethnographic reports exemplify rather than verify variability in kinship during prehistory? Research sites Four research sites in southeastern Europe and Anatolia have been selected: Çatalhöyük, Lepenski Vir, Arslantepe, and Vučedol. Methods KINSCA will align ethnographic reports with archaeological data to further contextualize houses and settlements as well as biological signatures of individuals to illuminate prehistoric kinship practices. This will be achieved through triangulation of analytical methods By employing archaeology of kinship approaches based on cross-cultural anthropological insights, controlled comparison between ethnographic and archaeological material, and regional comparison between archaeological sites.  Innovation Several archaeologists have voiced the need for archaeologists to move beyond understanding kinship through biogenetic links but as a social practice instead – joining well-known insight from earlier socio-cultural anthropology. For the first time, kinship in prehistory will be addressed from an interdisciplinary perspective, including socio-cultural anthropology, bioarchaeology, and prehistoric archaeology, within a common analytical framework.
