Projet CIC-BREL (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The MSCA Fellowship is an excellent chance for the Training of the Experienced Researcher through Teaching and Research TTR. The research subject will be a topic for Habilitation, a strong prerequisite for Professorship of the Experienced Researcher. The main goal of CIC-BREL project (Cracked and Inelastic Calculation of BRacing Elements) is to develop an innovative analytical method, using the deformation-based approach, to distribute horizontal forces on bracing elements of a building considering the cracked and inelastic state of the material. Then, from the analytical approach, it is aimed to develop a numerical method in a matrix form appropriate to be programmed in easy to use software. The developed analytical method will be verified by the results of shake table tests at the UCSD, USA. The numerical method will be implemented in software during the secondment at the PCAE Company. The developed analytical and numerical methods will be added to the Euro Code 6 and national German Standards. This way is decisive in designing high-raise buildings and apartments, and implementing the cracked and inelastic limit state could save up to 40% of building materials. This would have very positive economic and environmental advantages on the building sector. This project is inter-disciplinary, where academic (universities) and non-academic (software company) partners are involved together for a successful achievement of the Fellowship goals. It is multi-disciplinary it combines theory and analysis invention with computer software development. Cooperation between USA and European institutes makes it international. Best Researchers in USA and Europe are working actively together in an excellent academic and non-academic environment to get the best of the Fellowship for the Experienced Researcher and all other participants.

Projet MWK-Fellows (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Cofund Postdoctoral programme
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The MWK-Fellows programme financed by COFUND aims to allow excellent incoming researchers from countries other than Germany (in accordance with the EU-mobility-rule) to conduct their own, freely chosen, independent research projects in a highly competitive and intellectually vibrant research environment provided by the Max Weber Center for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies (Max-Weber-Kolleg). The Max-Weber-Kolleg is a high-ranking research centre which forms an avant-garde institution of the University of Erfurt. It is distinguished by a unique organisational structure – combining the features of an Institute for Advanced Study and a Graduate School – and a ‘Weberian’ research programme. The ‘Weberian’ research programme combines historical, comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives with an interest in normative issues in the social sciences. It has a focus on societal challenges of contemporary societies, especially (religious) plurality, cultural diversity and social order, processes of acceleration and growth. The core disciplines are sociology, economics, religious studies, law, philosophy and history, but MWK-Fellows programm is open for related areas as well. The Max-Weber-Kolleg is based on the principles of interdisciplinarity and internationality with a long-standing and progressively fine-tuned fellowship programme. By means of the COFUND-action Max-Weber-Kolleg will not only increase the number of international fellows but include a new intersectoral dimension into its fellowship programme. At the Max-Weber-Kolleg, MWK-Fellows will enjoy the best possible support and an opportunity of being connected with larger research projects. Nevertheless the applicants’ freedom of choice of the research project is fully guaranteed. The MWK-Fellows programme will improve international high-level research and science with and for society and will contribute to the fostering of the European Research Area (ERA), especially in the field of societal challenges.

Projet RASCIO (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The Mamluk period (1250-1517) is an example in terms of intellectual vivacity. Scholars and books travel easily, ideas are extensively discussed and shared, and the sum of knowledge available is always increasing. When it is no longer possible to master all the knowledge alone, and by heart, how do scholars compose new books? To answer this question, an eminent scholar of this time, al-Ṣafadī (d. 1363), will be taken as example. Several volumes of his personal reading journal—“tadhkirah”—are preserved, but have never been studied. They constitute exceptional evidence of his reading activity and reflect the very first stage of his working method. Besides, several manuscripts that were part of al-Ṣafadī’s personal library are preserved. Tracking them and the marginalia that al-Ṣafadī added next to their text sheds a complementary light on his readings. The only holograph volume of al-Ṣafadī’s tadhkirah preserved will be subject to a thorough and comprehensive study. All the authors and works cited will be identified, al-Ṣafadī’s excerpts will be confronted to the original texts. When the actual manuscript al-Ṣafadī read is identified, a careful analysis of the latter is conducted (study of paratexts left by al-Ṣafadī in the course of his work, codicological analysis). Moreover, the way al-Ṣafadī used the excerpts in his own works will be studied as well. An Open Access online edition will be prepared, including links to the original texts cited, to biographies of the authors, to al-Ṣafadī’s works using these information, and to the online database ELEO (database of paratextual elements). Such exceptional documents will provide us an innovative picture of intellectual life during the Mamluk period, a period similar to ours in terms of overabundance of information. Therefore, the study of this original subject is perfectly timely—it will fill the gap of our knowledge of intellectual history of the Mamluk period and will nourrish our perceptions about our times.

Projet Humanist Marxism (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The Marxist Humanist tradition has been markedly neglected within Marxist thought and within twentieth century intellectual history more generally. The proposed research will therefore provide the first detailed and critical account of this tradition – a tradition which springs from the reception of Marx’s 1844 Manuscripts and from the humanist standpoint that was central to them. In particular, the proposed research will look at the Marxist Humanist tradition as it is manifested in what can be considered the most preeminent and representative thinkers of that tradition – Henri Lefebvre, C. L. R. James, Raya Dunayevskaya, Erich Fromm, Adam Schaff, and the Praxis philosophers. In so doing, the research will range across spatiotemporal boundaries and through the explicit and implicit connections of what are otherwise disparate thinkers and variant sub-traditions. It will do so with reference to the following research questions: 1) How did the thinkers mentioned make use of the 1844 Manuscripts? 2) What was the context in which their use of the 1844 Manuscripts took place? 3) What were the implications of their development of the ideas contained in the 1844 Manuscripts? 4) How and why did these implications and uses differ in different national contexts? 5) In what ways can the thinkers discussed be said to form a tradition? And what precisely does this tradition consist in? 6) From the answers to these questions, we can then ask: What can we learn from this tradition? What is there in the response of its various representatives to to the outstanding issues of their time that we can make use of in our response to the outstanding issues of our time? The project will make a significant and original contribution to the history of ideas in the social sciences, and to our understanding of the processes by which social theories are shared, translated and made anew as they are discovered and applied in the face of particular social and political situations and challenges.

Projet OLEA (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The Mediterranean sylvo-agropastoral landscapes resulting from a long-term co-evolutionary process between socio-environmental and climate variables are at the centre of interest for environmental and social key issues linked to the creation of mosaic landscape. Islands provide vital insights for understanding cultural and environmental dynamics on a long-term perspective as they tend to amplify geographical and cultural determinants. The Balearic Islands constitute an invaluable laboratory for studying these interactions during the Holocene. OLEA project focuses on drivers and timing of the spread of Olea macchia as a central feature of the current Balearic landscape. The history of Olea horticulture and management since the earliest human arrival to these islands may be exemplar of Mediterranean dynamics. To attain these goals with a holistic approach, high-resolution palynological studies (coastal lagoon cores and archaeological sites), pollen morphology (Olea varieties), multi-proxy analysis (pollen, NPPs, sedimentary charcoal), fire history (natural or anthropic fires), paleoenvironmental-ecological-archaeobotanical-archaeological data integration and agent-based modelling (ABM) will be combined. In doing so, several Training Objectives will be achieved, including: improvement of morphological skills of microremains identification, new knowledge on Mediterranean vegetation, use of computational modelling and development of transdisciplinary and transferable skills. OLEA project will offer novel approaches and methods to understand mosaic landscape formation in the Mediterranean, history of managing and cultivation of cultural trees and how past societies faced climate oscillations and societal transformations in fragile island environments during the last millennia of changes.

Projet GREEN GODS (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2020)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The Montreal Protocol is widely regarded as the most successful international environmental treaty of all time, with substantial benefits to the stratospheric ozone layer and climate. However, recent work has shown that continued vigilance is needed following the first major violation of the Montreal Protocol, originating, at least in part, from eastern China. Since publication, Chinese authorities have reported major enforcement activities to address the problem. However, the work highlighted several remaining scientific challenges that must be addressed to continue to support the Montreal Protocol and, for climate, the Paris Agreement. Firstly, the magnitude of change in global emissions could not be reconciled with that inferred from eastern Asia, suggesting that the models could not accurately simulate year-to-year atmospheric trends, that the uncertainty estimates are insufficient, that as-yet-unidentified emissions occurred elsewhere in the world, or some combination of each. Secondly, the work highlighted the critical need to develop robust global and regional emissions inference capability for the more than 40 greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances regulated under the Montreal Protocol and other agreements. This project will work collaboratively between the two major global monitoring networks of non-CO2 greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances – NOAA in the USA and the international AGAGE consortium – to develop new models and statistical methodology to better quantify emissions of non-CO2 greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances using atmospheric measurements and models of atmospheric transport, and to improve the accuracy of national and international emissions reporting.

Projet NEW_WAY (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The NEW_WAY project will look at trajectories across the lifespan among Russian-speaking linguistic actors, and on the role of speaking/writing Russian in the political economy of Northern Norway around the Russian-Norwegian border. With the end of Cold War and implementation of more flexible border policies, Northern Norway, as other regions neighbouring with ex-USSR, got placed into the heart of geopolitics, global migration and sea trade, security and environmental crises. In the two decades after the Warsaw Pact dissolution, use and acquisition of Russian by different social actors, including speakers of other languages, has renewed its significance in the multilingual economy of the region. With this MSCA action, I would bring my competence on biographical research, knowledge of Russian and expertise on Russian-speaking migrant communities to complement the Norwegian research team. I wish to expand the biographical workshops methods with nexus analysis supervised by the world-renowned expert in nexus analysis. I will gain understanding of Northern borderland multilingual policies and practices in order to reveal deep-running social processes present and past (e.g. legal recognition, language investment and commodification, identity and community building etc.) with implications for social cohesion and peaceful neighbouring policy across other borderlands in Europe, as well as with potential for theory building and terminology creation. The project is expected to open ways to understanding the dynamics of decision-making that multilingual speakers undertake in investing into and building their individual language repertoires. Building from multi-sited ethnographic and biographical accounts, the project has a potential to construct a holistic perspective on multilingual practices and decision-making. The resulting picture goes beyond the sum of its elements and will inform critical rethinking of the concepts of community, diaspora, minority,majority and language.

Projet NanoBioMap (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The Nanoparticle Biointerface Mapping project builds on the extensive bionano interactions research in the group of Professor Kenneth Dawson at University College Dublin. In the NanoBioMap project I propose a cutting-edge interdisciplinary approach to develop a versatile tool allowing me to obtain detailed 3D maps of biomolecules at the surface of nanoparticles in complex biological media and study their importance for cell interactions. I will build on my extensive knowledge of nanomaterial science to develop this 3D mapping tool combining a tailor-made library of antibody-tagged quantum dots with electron microscopy 3D image reconstruction and X-ray elemental mapping. The resulting versatile method has multiple uses far beyond analyzing protein coronas. I envision applications of this state-of-the-art mapping tool in areas such as vaccine development, enzymatic catalysis on supported particles, cancer treatment and tracking of pollutants in water flows. The proposed project has 4 objective which will be reached over 24 months, within 13 work packages, including training-through-research and acquisition of transferable and complementary skills, contributing to the advancement of my career beyond this project, as a future independent researcher. The main objective is developing a tool to allow 3D mapping of protein epitopes at the surface of nanosized objects, with applications far beyond my test systems. The other objectives involve testing my tool to map epitopes in the protein corona at nanoparticles and study their interaction with cell receptors, focusing on spatial distribution of specific receptors. The proposal builds on my current extensive knowledge of nanomaterial synthesis, surface modification and characterization in complex environments adding a cell biology dimension, thus expanding my knowledge and career prospects.

Projet CODEV (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The Neolithic agricultural revolution is a key step in recent human evolution that dramatically shaped genetic diversity and adaptations of today populations. Plant domestication played a crucial role in its set-up. Yet the genetics of human migrations and plant domestication is addressed separately. CODEV explores the interaction between these processes in Africa, with an innovative multidisciplinary approach that jointly analyses human and plant genomic data, complemented by ethno-linguistic and environmental information. The largest genomic data-sets available to date of three mayor African cereals and human populations will be analyzed to identify congruent and idiosyncratic signatures of spatio-temporal evolutionary processes. CODEV will inform about whether cereal and human populations have undergone parallel or convergent evolution and co-adaptation. CODEV will yield novel evolutionary insights on the neutral and adaptive dynamics associated with the agricultural transition, a topic of great scientific and public interest. CODEV will also contribute to strengthening research on Africa and African biological resources, still poorly characterized. Determining the genetic bases of adaptation to agriculture is relevant to understand farming-related human diseases. The identification of adaptive genes in cereals informs crop improvement towards more sustainable and hazard-resilient varieties. Transfer of knowledge and capacity building activities will be addressed to European and African graduate students and researchers and outreach events will allow sharing CODEV findings with the civil society. This MSC action will increase the researcher competitiveness for career consolidation through new knowledge on human evolutionary genetics and species interaction analysis, and the increase of her international network. The specialized training enabled by CODEV will reinforce her skills in leadership and project management, scientific dissemination and mentoring.
