Projet EOXPOSURE (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The goal of the EOxposure project is to build tools to quantify the exposure of population and economic assets to multiple risks using novel information layers from current and future Earth Observation (EO) missions, as well as the growing sensor web on the ground. The project exploits the novel concept of the human EXPOSOME, i.e. the set of exposures to which an individual is subjected through its own existence. It includes the entire history of interactions with the environment, including air and water quality, food and exercises, as well as living habits and diseases that may spread. The cutting-edge fusion of this concept with EO and sensor data aims at measuring the human exposure to threats that are external to each individual, and quantify the interactions between human beings and the environment. By building geospatial information tools upon data coming from multiple sources, at different spatial and temporal scales, the EOxposure project aims at providing free public services, enabling citizens to understand the threats to which they are exposed, and decision makers to take more informed and effective actions against them. Specifically, EOxposure will focus on threats connected to housing conditions, disease spread, as well as security and health issues in urban and peri-urban areas, where population is concentrated. The new tools will build upon the consortium expertize on nutrition- and vector-borne disease models, urban heat monitoring and material characterization, satellite data processing, and geospatial data fusion, realizing interdisciplinary working groups dedicated to the above mentioned applications. To do so, EOxposure enrolls institutions from Europe and South America, merging expertises on exposure to risk in both developed and developing countries.

Projet TIRESIA (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The goal of the TIRESIA project is to implement a novel visual assistive technology that augments the residual sight of visually impaired (VI) individuals, with focus on children, enhancing their access to socially relevant information from visual input. Such a technology is intended to provide: i) an assistive function, based on augmented reality (AR) to automatically increase the saliency of socially relevant visual information, and ii) a rehabilitative function, improving long-term VI subjects’ attention to social visual cues. The TIRESIA goal reflects the need for a timely intervention in the impairments of social and interactive skills associated with a visual deficit, especially in early life when such skills are developed and before atypical patterns emerge. The project will be implemented throughout three main steps: 1) development of visual filters for social enrichment, exploiting end-to-end learning of visual transformations based on deep networks, 2) integration of the visual filters on AR glasses, and finally 3) validation of the approach at the neuroscientific level on a large sample of VI adults and children. These goals will be achieved thanks to the transfer of knowledge among the partner (MIT) and the host (IIT) institutions, involving advanced expertise in computer vison, neuroscience, visual rehabilitation, as well as solid scientific and clinical collaboration networks. TIRESIA has a strong interdisciplinary nature and a high applicative potential. It is expected to have an impact: at the scientific level, by introducing an innovative approach to visual assistive technologies based on computer vision; at the individual level, in terms of enhanced career prospects of the experienced researcher; at the organisation level, starting a novel scientific collaboration among the partner and host institutions; and finally, at the societal level, contributing to promote inclusion and better quality of life for impaired individuals.

Projet StringHom (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Mathematics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The goal of the project is to use string topology to understand the homology and cohomology of certain highly interesting groups: automorphism groups of free groups and finite groups of Lie type. The project consists of two parts. In the first, the Experienced Researcher (ER) aims to use string topological techniques he has pioneered and proven effective elsewhere to prove the nontriviality of the Morita and Eisenstein cycles in the homology of automorphism groups of free groups, thereby solving one of the big open questions concerning the homology of these groups. In the second part, the ER and the main supervisor will develop the "string topology of finite groups of Lie type" they have recently discovered connecting the cohomology of the free loop space of the classifying space of a compact connected Lie group G and the cohomology of the finite groups of Lie type associated with G with the aim of using it to shed light on the hitherto mysterious Tezuka conjecture asserting that the two cohomologies frequently agree. Hosted at one of the major centres for algebraic topology in the world and supervised by a world leader in homotopical group theory, the project will have a substantial impact on the ER's career by deepening and broadening his research expertise, especially concerning p-compact groups and cohomology of finite groups; by significantly broadening his research network; and by solidifying his position as a trailblazer and leader in applying techniques from string topology to tackle difficult problems in group homology and cohomology.

Projet Pathologies (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The goal of the proposed research project is to analyze temporal disturbances in mental disorders and, as a result, to create a “map” of pathological experiences of time. The map will be phenomenological in nature, i.e. cutting across existing classifications of mental disorders and avoiding untimely biological explanations. The project is highly interdisciplinary – it is situated at the intersection of phenomenology of temporality, philosophy of history and phenomenology of mental illness. It continues the tradition of philosophical-psychiatric reflections on time in mental disorders that started a century ago and that concerned temporal disturbances in conditions such as: addictions, amnesia, anxiety, dementia, depression, mania and schizophrenia. At the same time it enriches the existing empirical, clinical knowledge with non-medical interpretative schemes. The norm against which particular abnormalities will be assessed is going to be a value-based model of the relationship between past, present and future, and not value-free, physicalist notion of temporality. The major contribution that the project is going to make is bridging the gap between studies in philosophical textual analysis concerning temporality, which are theoretically sophisticated yet lack clinical references, and clinical papers, which will not serve its usual practical, medical function but pragmatically oriented philosophy. As a result, the study will constitute a major step toward answering two highly relevant philosophical-medical questions. First, can pathologies of temporality be interpreted as disorders in themselves, and not as epiphenomena built upon primary mental illnesses, and therefore provide ground for uniting otherwise separated categories of mental disorders? Second, how and to what extent can philosophical notions of time be applied not only to understanding of psychopathological phenomena but also to their treatment?

Projet Legitimacy (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The goal of the research is to redefine the interrelations between the concepts of legitimacy, sovereignty, the public sphere and democracy in order to develop a conception of a more inclusive and participatory public sphere. The problems of participation in and inclusivity of the public sphere relate to recent trends of globalisation and democratic development in general. As for the latter it has been argued that democracy is hijacked by corporate interests and party bureaucracies that make decisions in their back rooms, excluding all public discussion, and as for the former, we can observe how globalisation brings together different peoples, cultures, religions, highlighting the question of openness to and acceptance of differences. This research project proceeds from understanding that tackling these issues means to deal with the problems of inclusivity and participation in the public sphere. This project differs from various re-conceptualisations of the public sphere or sovereignty that have been offered in response to these concerns. It returns to the original condition of possibility of the concept of the public sphere: my argument is that the mentioned problems with inclusivity and participation emanate from the unfinished conceptual separation between state and society. I argue further that the idea of legitimacy has to be tackled, if this conceptual separation is to be brought to its conclusion. My theoretical approach to these issues will be a conceptual analysis informed by Derridean deconstruction. This project is innovative as it is interdisciplinary in using conceptual tools of philosophy to reinterpret terms which are in use in our everyday political practice. The process of carrying out the research plan that also foresees publishing four scholarly articles and the completion of one book manuscript will significantly develop further my skills and knowledge, making me better equipped to contribute to European science.

Projet HIPPOGRIFFE (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The goal of this Marie Curie Individual Fellowship, entitled “Hybrid simulatIons of flow ProPerties using atOmistic – fluctuatinG hydRodynamics modellIng For nanoconFined watEr” (HIPPOGRIFFE) is to train a talented Experienced Researcher (ER), Dr. Ivan Korotkin through a research project focused on the development of novel multiscale modelling methods, which offer a unique tool for guiding the high-resolution measurements at nanoscale. The properties of nanoconfined water, such as density, the structure of hydrogen bonded network, local temperature, translational and rotational diffusions, and effective viscosity can be very different in comparison with the bulk water properties. These differences must be understood and accounted for if the high-precision measurement techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM) are to be used in confidence for nanoscale imaging and control of interfacial and nanoconfined liquid flow. The ER will be trained in the field of multiscale modelling and manipulation of nanoconfined flows. He will receive access to a unique specialist training at the host institution, School of Engineering and Materials Science, Queen Mary University of London (Dr. S. Karabasov), and at academic secondments: Aston University (Dr. D. Nerukh), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Prof. R. Delgado Buscalioni), and Durham University (Dr. K. Voïtchovsky). The results of the HIPPOGRIFFE project will contribute to the enhancement of scientific excellence in European research. The results of the project will also find their ultimate use in industry, e.g. through providing recommendations for refined applications of the AFM technology for nanoscale imaging and developing new computational routines for the software companies who specialise in multiphysics modelling. In addition, the project will establish long-term collaborative relations between the multiscale modelling centres (Queen Mary, Aston, AUM) and the centre of nanoscale manipulation of liquids (Durham).

Projet PEOPLE (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The goal of this project is to develop a lasting collaboration between top class research teams in Europe and China that fosters progress in the broad area of perovskite optoelectronics through progress in materials science, chemistry, device physics, photophysics, and device engineering. This will be realized via a cross-European, trans-continental network. Such a network is required as perovskite opotoelectronics is a research area that requires strong collaborations between researchers with different background. More specifically, the PEOPLE network is intended as a key driver for the development of perovskite optoelectronics. Multiple disciplines need to be involved so that PEOPLE can cover the entire knowledge chain: the design/synthesis of perovskite materials, processing/characterization of perovskite films, photovoltaic applications of perovskites, other emerging optoelectronic devices based on perovskites, device physics and photophysics. The combined expertise in PEOPLE is essential to achieve a transformative impact. This project regroups leading research teams in the domain of perovskite optoelectronics, with complementary expertise, in an attempt to synergise the research effort in this area. The most important results from this project will be the human resources generated. This project will allow the exchange of ideas between top class researchers in Europe and China, both at a senior scientist level and most importantly at a junior level. Maintaining this ambition to educate researchers in a highly multidisciplinary fashion, in cutting edge techniques, is a central goal of this project. It is expected that the recognition and training of young talent in the development of perovskite optoelectronics will have long lasting benefits both for fundamental research and industry in Europe.
