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

This project will explore bottom-up, civil-society-driven security alternatives in the favelas in Rio de Janeiro as marginalised, racialised and criminalised neighbourhoods, their transformative potential and their comparison to post-conflict community policing and security reform. The project is a global collaboration between NMBU, Norway and PUC-Rio, Brazil. It contains the following three research objectives: 1. To explore bottom-up, civil-society-driven security alternatives in the favelas in Rio de Janeiro. Data will be gathered through a participatory project with the favela organisations Coletivo Papo Reto, Observatório de Favelas and Redes da Maré, and will include 20 semi-structured interviews, discussion groups, participant observation and open forums for discussions on non-violent alternatives to policing and the potentials (or lack thereof) for community policing projects in the favelas. 2. Study where and how these efforts to ensure human security meet the state and its public security apparatus. Here, data will be gathered through participant observation with Coletivo Papo Reto, Observatório de Favelas and Redes da Maré, and include 20 semi-structured interviews with politicians, members of the judiciary and public security officials. 3. Bring lessons on community policing alternatives and interactions with the state from the favelas and see how they are translatable to other cases of civil-society led/engaged community policing projects. Data will be gathered from secondary sources case studies on post-conflict community policing at the ICT4COP Center at NMBU. The project contributes knowledge on civil society-led community policing in racialised, criminalised neighbourhoods, community alternatives from an intersectional, decolonial community perspective from the global south, and to the study of peace formation and hybridity in violent non-conflict contexts. It also explores innovative co-production through participatory research in the favelas.

Projet QDMAP (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

Chemistry is developed with the improvement of experimental and theoretical spectroscopy. A well-known approach for molecular vibration is based on harmonic oscillators, but it cannot be used for floppy systems. To analyze spectra of floppy systems, the exact quantum dynamics (QD) methodology based on a numerically ‘exact’ solution of the (ro)vibrational Schrödinger equation has been developed. It may appear that ro-vibrational spectroscopy is well established, based on the electronic Schrödinger equation with Coulomb interactions, but two additional effects that split molecular spectra remain: a) magnetic interactions due to nuclear spins, and b) parity-violation interactions, which is due to the electroweak force, causing tiny energy differences between enantiomers. The magnitude of a) is on the order of several tens of GHz (109 Hz), which is observable in the high-resolution spectrum. The magnitude of b) of a current target molecule is predicted about a few mHz (10-3 Hz), which is smaller than the current precision of the best experiments. The suggestion of new target molecules with large PV effects is required. These effects have been investigated for rigid systems, but never for floppy systems, where new coupling of ro-vibration and magnetic interactions, and strong enhancement of PV effects may be present. In this project, I investigate a) and b) of floppy systems by developing new QD methodology and by obtaining molecular properties (spin-rotational constant and PV energy), based on electron correlation theory. The objectives of this project are as follows: i) formulation, implementation, and application of QD with magnetic interaction for floppy systems, ii) theory development of QD for methanol-like molecules, and iii) QD application for chiral methanol-like molecules. This project provides the development of the exact quantum dynamics methodology which leads to a complete description of quantum nuclear motion in molecular systems.

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

The project ‘Building Resilient International Development through Green Employment in the EU and Asia’ (BRIDGE) aims to comprehensively examine the structure and evolution of 'green jobs'—those essential for the green transition—along global value chains, in response to the growing international economic shifts toward sustainable development. The project’s core premise is that the ecological transition transcends national borders, representing a global process. As a result, labor dynamics related to this transition are deeply interconnected across regions worldwide. Asia, particularly China, plays a key role in the development and production of goods and services crucial to the green transition. These processes form a ‘global value chain’ of green jobs and tasks, encompassing every stage from design and planning to raw material extraction, production, logistics, and distribution. The exploration of this ‘global green-employment chain’ (GGEC) is critical for identifying potential areas of collaboration and competition, while also assessing the feasibility of regional development strategies in both the EU and Asia. The project wants to leverage on my expertise on labor economics to develop an analysis on a global level, adopting a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing empirical analysis and qualitative interviews to key actors to develop empirical informed computer simulation experiments (EICSE). The project will be hosted by two top-class academic institutions: the Department of Economics and Management at the University of Parma (UNIPR, Italy), under the supervision of Prof. Fabio Landini, and the School of Management and Economics at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in Chengdu, under the supervision of Prof. Daitian Li. This MSCA presents an excellent opportunity for my academic career, offering the chance to enhance my expertise and pursue a tenure-track position at European universities.

Projet AA4MD (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The evolution of online platforms over the past decades has radically transformed the way people discover music, and nowadays thanks to social media and music streaming services listeners have access to an ever-increasing amount of tracks and artists. Within these platforms, one of the goals of Recommender Systems (RSs) is to help users discover music without making them feel overwhelmed while exploring the huge catalogues available. However, RSs have come under scrutiny from the scientific community, policy-makers, and civil society due to their potential negative societal impact, notably with regard to issues of fairness, non-discrimination, inclusion and diversity. Algorithmic auditing has emerged as a tool to analyse the problematic behaviours exhibited by RSs, and to offer remedies that can limit their negative impact. The AA4MD project aims to advance this area of research by crafting auditing techniques tailored specifically for music RSs. The objective of the project is to demonstrate how the involvement of end-users in the auditing process can contribute to the recognition, analysis, and mitigation of problematic behaviours which may arise while discovering music. The focus will be on highlighting how RSs, by influencing the discoverability of music, can impact listeners' exposure to culturally diverse content. In essence, AA4MD will provide 1) qualitative and quantitative insights into how users experience problematic behaviours of RSs when discovering music, 2) a web-based auditing tool that enables large-scale audits, developed following human-centred design practices, and 3) recommendations for policy-makers to enhance the discoverability of culturally diverse content on online platforms. Ultimately, the AA4MD project seeks to contribute to addressing the challenges posed by music RSs' problematic behaviours and to foster a more inclusive and diverse environment for music discovery within the digital landscape.

Projet i-SeePanel (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)

Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

There is an urgent socio-economic and environmental need in Europe for sustainable and effective solutions for integrated seismic and energy upgrading of existing buildings as recently adopted by the Green Deal-Renovation policy. Although the field of integrated seismic and energy upgrading has received great attention in the academic community in the last five years, further research is required towards faster, and eco-friendly integrated retrofitting solutions. This project, i-SeePanel, goes several steps beyond the state-of-the-art which still lacks of the real applications of integrated retrofitting solutions, via the development of Innovative externally bonded precast panels, in accordance with Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) principles, for integrated seismic and energy upgrading of existing buildings envelopes. The proposed precast panels combine the promising seismic strengthening solution TRM (composite material consisting of fibre-textiles reinforcement embedded into an inorganic matrix) with insulation materials providing several advantages compared to cast-in-place solutions by guarantying the effectiveness of the solution (quality-controlled) with high aesthetic and geometry adaptability potentials, and by reducing the time of the intervention, the inconveniences for the inhabitants and the labor effort due to simplifier installation procedure. The research activities of this project include the experimental work for the production and characterization of the matrix material and of the precast panel, pilot laboratory applications on full-scale masonry-infilled RC frames, and the developing design guidelines for proposed applications. The outcomes obtained from this project will encourage the renovation of existing buildings and will aid the authorities in funding upgrading interventions, while at the same time the use of the proposed solution will be beneficial to enhance the resilience and the sustainability of existing building stock.

Projet Phides (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The fast increase of telecommunications and technology continuously push towards low energy and complex functionalities. New functionalities necessarily imply silicon technology to be extended to other materials and systems with optical and electrical properties beyond those of Si alone. Optical modulators are one of the principal components constituting photonic circuits directly determine the energy costs and systematic performances of optical devices. Among modulators, electrochromic devices (ECD) regulate light intensity by applying a low voltage. Despite inorganic oxide materials present low energy consumption, limitations arise to fabricate fast switching tunable light EC devices . A possible solution to overcome these limitations are mixed ionic-electronic conductors (MIEC).Their optical properties' change is based on electrochemically driven reversible redox processes regulated by an electric field. Phides aims at developing a novel solid state NV electrochromic devices based on the implementation of rare-earths and strain engineering of functional oxide thin films to tune the change of color contrast and increase switching times. Photo-ionic materials have the potential to deliver robust, fast and energy efficient NV electrochromic devices. However, photo-ionic control is still at an early stage of the R&D process and many aspects still needs to be improved to deliver a competitive device. In essence, Phides will provide: i) An electrochromic guided device based on the electrochemical insertion of oxygen ions; ii) A large and analogically tunable electrochromic response of the cell; ii) A fast electrochromic switching capabilities through the implementation of nanoionics concept for boosting ionic motion; iii) An improved understanding of the oxygen-ion intercalation mechanisms in oxide perovskite thin films; and iv) Device scalability and miniaturization.

Projet SmartOptoelectronics (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

Microscale thin-film-based solid oxide fuel cells (μSOFCs) are an emerging alternative for portable power supply due to their high efficiency, fuel flexibility and high volumetric and specific power densities. Promising cathode materials for μSOFCs are perovskite lanthanum-based oxide materials which have improved oxygen transport properties and resistance to the high operating temperatures. However, the physicochemical factors influencing the performance of these materials are yet to be well understood. The SmartOptoelectronics project will develop machine learning (ML) methods to establish trends between the structural properties and the electrochemical performance of perovskite lanthanum-based oxides based on high-throughput experimental data. These techniques will be used to explore the chemical space of lanthanum-based oxides with the goal of undestanding and designing lanthanum-based materials with enhanced performances for μSOFC applications. Machine learning methods will be validated in three main steps: (1) deriving structure-property relationships in lanthanum-based oxides from spectroelectrochemical data of combinatorial ternary and quaternary maps; (2) demonstrating new lanthanum-based oxides with enhanced electrochemical properties and performance; (3) optimising the operation of devices based on top-performing materials with operando monitoring of spectroelectrochemical properties. The project will have a high impact on the work programme and on the candidate’s skills and future prospects by developping an expertise in machine learning and large scale clean energy conversion devices, which are Key Enabling Technologies in Horizon Europe and complement her background in spectroelectrochmistry of multi-redox catalytic materials. The project will also re-enforcing the candidate’s transferrable skills and technology transfer competence as part of the KIC Innoenergy community and the clean energy R&D&I sector.

Statut du projet : SIGNED

Controlling and engineering light matter interactions at ever smaller scales is an ambitious research enterprise that has fostered the field of plasmonics, leading to improved molecular sensing, monitoring of chemical reactions at the single molecule level and the exploration of new phenomena such as room-temperature strong coupling. One of the most powerful and prolific approaches has been to engineer plasmonic gap cavities with (sub) nanometric gaps yielding high field enhancements. At such small scales, the displacements of one or few atoms leads to an additional, highly localized field enhancement, termed picocavity, that allows for example to robustly detect SERS signals stemming from a single molecule by boosting its signal more than 1000 times. In Ecole I will equip such small plasmonic gap nanocavities with electrical connections. First, I will achieve electrical control over the formation and dynamics of picocavities, making them a more reliable sensing tool and testing current hypotheses about their microscopic nature and formation mechanisms. Subsequently I will use this increase enhancement to study the electron-phonon coupling in a molecular junction. Looking at the influence of strong optical resonances and drive on the the electron transport and phonon generation, allowing to reach non-classical states. Third, I will then demonstrate electrically driven mid-IR upconversion from a molecular junction, where the incoming excites vibrations of fluorescent molecules and thereby triggers overbias electroluminescence. This paves the way for a new all electrical detection scheme of mid-IR radiation, with a more scalable and potentially cheaper approach than current technology, enabling to integrate the advantages and promises of the mid-IR technology in a larger range of products and applications.

Statut du projet : SIGNED

In the field of particle physics today, the search for what lies beyond our Standard Model is a long-awaited goal. My proposal will push forward this search and potentially uncover what we refer to as new physics. I will be measuring a unique decay that involves the transition of Lambda baryon to a tau lepton. This decay is an excellent avenue to test one of the main pillars of our Standard Model, an aspect referred to as Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU). Specifically, I will examine the ratio of the rates of Lambda decay to the tau lepton, as compared to the other two leptons, the electron and muon. This ratio is expected to have a value of 1 in the SM. However, similar measurements, with other parent particles, have been done at 3 other leading particle physics experiments, and a deviation from the SM expectation has been observed. As an expert in the field, I have performed one of these measurements at the Belle II experiment in a channel involving the decay of a B meson. At LHCb, I have unique access to the Lambda channel and this will allow me to perform a highly anticipated measurement in the field, one which will help complete the picture for LFU tests of the SM. Based on my wide experience at Belle II, I will perform this measurement with improved sensitivity and extend the scope of this LFU test to involve angular observables. The latter are more interesting, since contrary to the ratio, angular observables can help uncover the nature of any new physics, if it exists. To achieve my goal, I will develop a novel multivariate technique based on high-impact variables from the event information to suppress the persistent backgrounds in LHCb's noisy environment. I will also examine at new Lambda decay sub-channels, ones that have never been measured before. With my precision measurement, I will confirm or annul a persistent anomaly in the field. What ever the result, I will impact our current understanding of the origin of our universe.
