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

The BiOp-FibEnd project aims to develop a functional optical fiber for in-vivo examination of suspect tissues. The information obtained is equivalent to that of a biopsy without removing samples from the living body. The main contribution of this technique is to detect earlier, without bringing distress and discomfort to the patient, diseases such as cancer, coronary obstructions, and many others. To this purpose a hyper-lens providing super-resolved imaging in the mid-IR, mid-IR spectroscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) will be combined. A fiber endoscope, ready for in-vivo tests, able to observe and get spectroscopy information of living tissues will be realized.

Mots clés : super resolved imaging, multifunctional endoscope, mid ir spectroscopy, metamaterials, optical fibers

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

The Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture is a Millenium Prize Problem and is unquestionably one of the most important open problems in mathematics. It concerns elliptic curves E, which are indispensable in today’s society as they are extensively used in the form of cryptography. Iwasawa theory proved to be an extremely powerful tool in modern number theory, and it serves as a bridge between the two mysterious mathematical objects appearing in the conjecture (the Tate–Shafarevich group and the complex L-series) which are completely different in nature, by allowing us to study it at one prime number at a time. In this proposal, E will have complex multiplication, since their L-series are known to be defined at the critical point. The classical theory only deals with odd primes p. Even though p = 2 is the most interesting prime for the conjecture, it is always omitted because of serious technical difficulties, preventing classical methods from obtaining the full conjecture for any curve. Furthermore, E is always defined over the rational numbers or the field K of complex multiplication. A main reason for this is that the Iwasawa modules are not semisimple at p = 2 and p dividing the class number h of K. I will explore and apply the full force of Iwasawa theory and aim to include the eschewed prime. This is made possible by my recent results on an Iwasawa main conjecture at p = 2 and the vanishing of Iwasawa μ-invariant. The first research project deals with a family of elliptic curves which are defined over extensions of K. For these curves, I propose to show the p-part of the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for ordinary primes p, which include p = 2 and p dividing h. The second project explores noncommutative Iwasawa main conjecture at p = 2 by combining the early works of Colmez–Schneps and the recent work of Kings–Sprang. Finally in the third project, I will use an elliptic curve from the second project to propose and study an analogue of Weber’s class number problem.

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

The CAMINFLOW project aims to further explore the question of global regularity versus finite-time singularity formation in mathematical fluid mechanics. It proposes three horizons: 1) Modulated self-similar finite-time singularities in degenerate parabolic equations, 2) Fluid-interface finite-time singularities, 3) Rigorous analysis of fluid-structure moving interfaces. Module 1 is organized in two Work Packages: 1.1) Finite-time self-similar pinchoff for the axisymmetric surface diffusion equation (local, 1d), 1.2) Self-similar finite-time singularity in incompressible porous medium (nonlocal, 2d). Module 2 focuses on the blowup of the curvature of the Muskat problem (also known as Hele-Shaw). Module 3 contains two Work Packages: 3.1) Local and global well-posedness theory for the inextensible membrane problem. 3.2) Rigorous proof of the tumbling/tank-treading transition for inextensible membranes in a shear flow. A central and unifying method in this action is Computer-Assisted Proofs (CAP). Due to the highly demanding technical level of the analysis involved, new interval arithmetic libraries for singular integrals will be developed in Arb. Moreover, new modules in the framework Dedalus will be developed as well to perform accurate numerical simulations (that will help deciding whether a singularity is forming or not). These techniques will be applied complementing the methods from contour dynamics, harmonic analysis, and energy methods, needed to obtain results in the mathematical analysis of fluid interface problems. The CAMINFLOW project will be carried out by the experienced researcher, who worked during his PhD thesis on the global regularity question for incompressible fluid interfaces coming from nonlinear, nonlocal parabolic partial differential equations, and then as a postdoc moved on to fluid-structure elastic interfaces. The ER will collaborate with a Supervisor who is a prominent expert in CAP and their application to the fluid mechanics.

Projet CAROLINE (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Cofund Postdoctoral programme
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The CAROLINE Fellowship Programme proposed by the Irish Research Council (IRC) will provide a unique opportunity for researchers to further develop their skills, competencies and experience through inter-sectoral collaboration with NGOs and International Organisations (IO). Proposals will be invited from all disciplines that speak to the overarching theme of global sustainable development as set out under the United Nations 2030 Agenda for shared economic prosperity, social development, and environmental protection. CAROLINE will fund 50 experienced researchers across two modes; International Fellowships (three-year) and Irish Fellowships (two-year). The IRC, a national agency, funds excellent research across all disciplines. Unique aspects of CAROLINE include the European and global resonance of the overarching research theme, the inclusion of NGO and IO partners with the host research performing organisations, flexibility in secondments, comprehensive approaches to equal opportunities and gender aspects, and dedicated core training and career support activities. Research outcomes and activities of the CAROLINE Fellows will benefit Europe, given the significance of the theme to Europe 2020, e.g. in employment, climate change and energy, education, and poverty reduction. CAROLINE will deliver experienced researchers with enhanced skills in inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary research and better access to a wider set of future career opportunities. The IRC has built an impressive array of support for this proposal from stakeholders in Ireland, Europe and internationally, including research performing-organisations, NGOs, IOs and other partners.

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

The CHARISMA project will investigate ultrafast charge transport induced by photoionization in intermediate-sized molecules. Charge migration is mediated purely by electronic dynamics on time scales down to hundreds of attoseconds. The subsequent interplay with nuclear dynamics on the femtosecond time scale can lead to charge transfer and localization. These ultrafast mechanisms play important roles in the interaction of ionizing radiation with biologically-relevant molecules, in molecular electronics, and also in astrochemistry. To gain fundamental insights into ultrafast charge transport it is necessary to study it in smaller molecules that are more tractable for experimental and theoretical methods. Such studies hold the promise to direct charge migration for controlling chemical reactivity, which would impact many chemical disciplines. Numerous theoretical studies have already addressed charge migration, but only recently advances in high-harmonic generation (HHG) sources, providing intense, ultrashort XUV pulses have made ‘real time’ experiments possible. It is therefore timely to study ultrafast charge transport in intermediate-sized molecules. These results will stimulate ongoing technical developments to extend the techniques to complex molecules of practical relevance in the near future. In pursuing this goal, CHARISMA relies also on coincidence experiments using synchrotron radiation to facilitate the challenging choices of meaningful experimental observables for the time-resolved studies. The researcher’s large experience in molecular photoionization using a variety of advanced light sources will be extended in this project, for which the state-of-the-art ultrafast lasers at Politecnico di Milano provide the perfect environment. CHARISMA integrates perfectly into the vibrant community of attosecond science in Europe and will demonstrate the synergy of synchrotron and HHG radiation in the pursuit of molecular control through ultrafast charge migration.

Projet RESPIRE 3 (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Cofund Postdoctoral programme
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The European Respiratory Society (ERS) is the main scientific society in the respiratory field in Europe. ERS mission is to promote lung health and to drive globally standards for respiratory medicine. ERS aims at consistently achieving its core mission by supporting the forefront of basic and translational research. Since 1997, ERS has operated a successful programme of international exchange of researchers in respiratory science. Under the FP7 COFUND scheme, ERS launched RESPIRE 1 and RESPIRE 2 fellowship programmes. Here, ERS proposes RESPIRE 3, a new fellowship programme that capitalises on the success of the previous programmes and presents innovative features, taking into consideration the results of the independent evaluation of the RESPIRE 2 programme. First, RESPIRE 3 funds both European and global fellowships, expanding the international dimension to Third Countries. Second, RESPIRE 3 places major attention to inter-sectoral exposure: fellows have the possibility to undertake a secondment to industry, fully funded by the programme. Third, RESPIRE 3 complements the host institutions’ programme by proposing training activities aimed at strengthening the professional development of the fellows. Fourth, RESPIRE 3 sets the frame for the establishment of international contacts by offering dedicated networking opportunities, namely during the annual ERS congress. Fifth, with an increased living allowance and by introducing a family allowance, RESPIRE 3 provides competitive working conditions to attract the best talents and guarantee them a right balance between career ambitions and personal development. Therefore, the proposed RESPIRE 3 programme, by training post-doctoral fellows in Europe and globally, will enhance research in the respiratory field, increase the human resources potential in Europe, and contribute to the overall objective and impact of COFUND.

Projet RES INV (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Economic Sciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The European Union (EU) has set ambitious greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) targets: 20% lower than 1990 levels by 2020, rising to 40% lower by 2030 and 85% lower by 2050. Moreover, a target of at least 27% on the share of renewable energy consumed in EU is set for 2030. To facilitate renewable integration, the EU is implementing the European Single Electricity Market (ESEM). The efficient use of electricity interconnection envisaged by the ESEM can mitigate the system instability caused by a high penetration of intermittent renewables; however the challenging targets on emissions and renewable generation add constraints that need to be evaluated. In the first stage of my analysis, I will develop scenarios of the EU generation sector, focusing on the Italian market and the countries it shares electricity interconnection with. The goal is to investigate the role of investments in renewable generation and transmission network needed to meet the overall EU targets at minimum cost. I will then determine how the costs associated to interconnection and to investment in renewables are distributed among jurisdictions and between generators and consumers. In the second stage, I will investigate how the results of the first model change if electricity storage, the electrification of transport and electric heating are widely adopted. I will identify if demand management in the presence of these technologies help to match a supply that depends largely on renewable generation.

Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The European Union supports several directives to protect groundwater from hazardous contaminants, including radionuclides. This project aims to increase understanding of uranium retention pathways in calcite mediated by iron sulphides and microorganisms in a deep crystalline rock-groundwater system. This will be achieved by implementing a comprehensive experimental approach involving various isotope proxies in minerals and secondary, deep groundwaters, integration with microbiological studies, spectroscopic techniques, and hydrogeochemical modelling. The results will help to decipher microbial signatures in modern and ancient redox processes and microbial impact on the mobility of trace elements in groundwaters in the vicinity of the future granitic type nuclear repositories.

Projet Fe-RedOx-Cat (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The Fe-RedOx-Cat project aims to introduce a new family of efficient, robust and selective iron-based electro-catalysts for both, CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation. Taking into account the detrimental environmental effect of CO2 (global warming), the development of new technologies for its valorization (for instance conversion to fuels) is becoming mandatory for our society. The target catalysts prosposed in the Fe-RedOx-Cat project are based on N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as ligands, which matches perfectly with the research background of the candidate. During the first part of the project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (USA), the researcher will learn a wide range of electro-analytical techniques for the characterization/optimization of the new catalysts and also for its mechanism elucidation. Later, the new acquired skills will be transferred to the host group in Europe at ICIQ (Spain). This group will also provide his expertise in the development of catalysts based on first row transition metals and mechanism elucidation by means of experimental techniques and computational methods. The afore-mentioned features of the applicant and the host groups will provide an outstanding synergy between all the participants. Hence the researcher will embark on a challenging work plan, learning new concepts in electro-catalysis and first row transition metal catalyst design, essential for the development of the project. Moreover, the Fe-RedOx-Cat project will provide to the applicant an excellent training in the multidisciplinary research area of CO2 valorization. Altogether, the Fe-RedOx-Cat project will enhance multiple competences of the researcher on scientific and transferable skills, thus stimulating his evolution as a scientist and contributing to the growth of the European research excellence.

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

The First World War threatened to extinguish the renowned Belgian lace industry, cut off from both markets and raw materials. Thousands of female lacemakers would be left without an income. Humanitarian organisations stepped in, saved the country’s cultural heritage, and supported its workers by supplying materials and selling the finished fabrics. Their actions gave unprecedented publicity to the industry and employed more than 50.000 Belgian lacemakers. The produced lace became known as war lace, as its unique iconography sometimes referred directly to the conflict. Art historians and craft practitioners addressing war lace have concentrated on high-quality laces designed by recognised artists. Historians have tended to study food and medical aid programmes. Yet the history of such humanitarian handicraft programmes remains obscure. ReMTW fills this gap. It uncovers the overlooked origins for the preservation of cultural heritage by humanitarian organisations, while examining the prospect for female emancipation and artistic expression. Through a combination of archival, collection and practice-led inquiry, the project will lead to an innovative history of humanitarianism which encourages historians to attend to material object, and art historians and craft practitioners to engage with the historical processes and the production of embodied knowledge. During the fellowship, the ER will organise an international colloquium, submit 3 peer-reviewed articles, present 2 papers at international conferences and lead an interdisciplinary workshop with 3 site-specific iterations. This will enhance the ER’s skills and future employability prospects, by opening new training opportunities, furthering her ability to plan, organise, and develop her dissemination and public outreach competencies, and reinforcing her professional international networks of researchers and practitioners versed in history, art history and craft practice.
