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

The MONTEX project will consider Egyptian society in the Late Roman, Byzantine and Early Arab periods through its economy and material culture. It focuses on the production, circulation, and distribution of textiles. Textile production was one of the most important branches of the Egyptian economy at the time. This research will be conducted using the example of the monastic environment. As monks and nuns came from all social groups, their professional occupations and everyday life strongly correspond in many aspects with the lifestyle of lay people. The sources related to monastic environment are numerous and provide us with some information unavailable elsewhere regarding lay craftsmen and customers. This comparative research will be conducted in interdisciplinary studies combining all kinds of sources: archaeological evidence, iconographic representations, and literary, normative, and documentary texts written in a bilingual Greek and Coptic environment. The MONTEX project provides studies on the provision of raw materials, and the organisation of textile production and craft training, also considering the gender aspect of these topics. The studies of the circulation and distribution of textiles will focus on the innovative topic of textiles not destined for clothing and used in various contexts. It also offers new lexicographical approach to the Greek vocabulary concerning textiles and their production. The main goal of this research is a synthetic study of textiles in Late Roman and Byzantine Egypt, a topic which has never received interdisciplinary and comparative analysis. The Project will be hosted by the University of Copenhagen’s Centre for Textile Research (Denmark), a highly specialized centre for textile studies. The secondment institution will be the Université Paris Ouest – Nanterre La Défense (France), with its Department of Art History and Archaeology famous for teaching and research into Mediterranean material culture.

Projet MiDER (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The MiDER project introduces a radical redesign of the power conversion stages of distributed energy resources (DER), to ensure their large-scale incorporation in future smart grids, in which end-users will assume a prosumer role. This will be achieved through optimal incorporation of the wide band-gap technology and disengagement from magnetic components. The two main objectives of MiDER are: i) To develop a miniaturized and efficient multilevel converter (MMC) with GaN transistors and no magnetics, for grid-connected localized DERs. The advantageous characteristics of the GaN technology offer the foundations for the first monolithically integrated MMC on a single chip. ii) To study the advantages of eliminating magnetic components and filters in terms of dynamic response and power system stability. This novel approach is expected to result in efficiency improvement, notable weight and volume reduction and enhancement of the dynamic response of future DERs, while effectively addressing the oscillatory instabilities, commonly encountered during grid disturbances. The project is fully aligned with the EU policies for efficient energy generation from renewables and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and is anticipated to have a positive socioeconomic and environmental impact. The project lies between different scientific fields, extending from material science to power electronics and power system control, aiming to provide a collaborative solution for addressing the challenges of future converter-based networks. The Fellowship offers a unique opportunity to the Researcher to acquire new knowledge and personal development skills and bridge the gap between academia and industry, through cross-sectoral training and decentralised dissemination and communication activities across Europe. Ultimately, the Action will enhance his future career perspectives, help him reach professional maturity and complete his profile as an independent researcher and project manager.

Projet MoMenT (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The MoMent-project aims to develop a reliable instrument for quantitative evaluation of thermal phenomena in metal cutting, extending an original scientific approach already developed by the Experienced Researcher, which will advance both the fundamental knowledge in this field and the application side of cutting tool products and respective R&D solutions. This approach is based on a coupled measurement and modelling algorithm where cutting temperature and related phenomena are reconstructed by solving an inverse problem of thermal physics. A layered architecture is developed where the parental framework model is strengthened by dedicated satellite modules covering every aspect of heat balance in tooling. The advanced algorithms are supported by experimental setups to convert the research modules into innovative solutions with direct application in the R&D practice of the host: SECO Tools – global market-leading manufacturer of tools and tooling systems for advanced industrial metal cutting applications. To enable the intended innovations, access to and use of world class facilities during 2 secondments at Lund University are foreseen. MoMenT has two workpackages: WP1 is focusing on the development of sensors for off-line and real time measurement of temperature and temperature distribution in a cutting tool. These outcomes have high potential for commercialization by SECO Tools as products for its customers. WP2 is focusing on development of modules designed to support R&D actions related to material and coating development and to solutions for the efficient choice and use of machining coolants. This will contribute to SECO Tools’ “secret know-how” and hence provide a competitive edge. With MoMenT, I hope to develop from a stand-alone researcher that is destined to join activities of others, to a leader of a department bridging the areas of Software Development and Manufacturing Engineering, leading to a professorship position within 3 years after project end.

Projet HANSEALTAR (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The Mobility, Meaning, Mercantile Connections of Altarpieces between Germany and Scandinavia across the Hanse Network in the Fifteenth Century The Hanse trade organization functioned as a medieval trading organization before the advent of early modern global trade in the Baltic and North Sea regions. Alongside raw materials and finished goods, art objects—especially carved and painted wooden altarpieces—were manufactured and circulated along Hanse trade routes. The HANSEALTAR project will investigate the mobility of altarpieces between northern Germany and Scandinavia in the fifteenth century. In particular, this project will document, photograph, and study extant fifteenth-century altarpieces in Norway, Denmark (Jutland), and southern Sweden (Skåne) from North German workshops, especially Lübeck. Using a variety of methodologies in the field of art history including technical investigation, this project will be the first art historical study to expand the artistic reach of the Hanse to incorporate Scandinavia into a pan-European context. The consideration of these altarpieces with respect to their original context, audience, and function will give us crucial insight into the pre-modern international network of trade, as well as the daily devotional life of laypersons in the late Middle Ages. The work program of this project encompasses travel to altarpieces across Scandinavia, conference presentations at the regional, national, and international levels, peer-reviewed publications, as well as sharing source material and photography across multiple digital platforms. The HANSEALTAR will make a major contribution to our knowledge of pre-modern trade networks and the mobility of art objects before the Reformation.

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

The Nazi’s rise to power and occupation of large swathes of Europe had a significant impact on more than 17 million individuals. Jews formed the biggest group that was racially targeted by Nazi Germany. National Jewish communities in all European countries suffered from the increasing destruction of the Nazis. Notably, more than two thirds of all the Jewish victims in Nazi-occupied and Nazi allied countries were non-national Jews. Within this group, a large number were refugees after the Reich’s conquests of the 1930s. Tragically, many of them found refuge in countries that were subsequently occupied by Nazi Germany, from where the vast majority of them would be deported and killed. Although non-national Jews make up a significant percentage of the Jewish victims in their respective countries, we know next to nothing about them. Taking Belgium as a particularly relevant case study, with more than 93% of non-national Jews within its total Jewish population, but less than half of non-national Jews within its total Jewish victims, this proposal investigates Jewish refugees from Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe alike. This research project will reconstruct the timeline of Jewish refugees’ lives since their arrival, throughout the 1930s, and during Nazi occupation of the 1940s by employing an analytical framework comprising legal, institutional, and social standpoints. Build around three research objectives and cutting across several disciplinary fields, this research idea will be implemented by mobilizing two methodological approaches and a variety of research sources. The research data will be analysed by employing statistical software and digital humanities tools. This research subject is relevant for the European policy on learning from the Holocaust to address the situation of refugees’ today, while this fellowship project constitutes a key step in this fellow career trajectory: to return to research and reach medium and long-term goals.

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

The OrganoidAlign action will develop a solid computational framework for comparative modelling of organoids in the age of single-cell transcriptomics. It will provide direct payoffs to both, tissue engineering and single-cell genomics fields. The overarching goal is to build a set of statistically rigorous and consistent probabilistic models for aligning a single-cell transcriptomic profile of an organoid against its in vivo tissue, for quantitatively evaluating its recapitulatory power. During the course of this action, a meticulous review will be conducted on the state-of-the-art single-cell data modelling and comparative analysis techniques prior to formulating the single-cell transcriptomic profile comparison problem in statistical learning theory. This will specifically focus on both cell clustering and cell trajectory inference methods. A new statistical framework will be implemented to accommodate a comprehensive comparison between a pair of in vitro and in vivo transcriptomic profiles. A rigorous scoring measure will be devised to quantify their alignment. Overall, the inference components under the proposed framework will facilitate the prediction of missing or outlying cellular attributes, transcriptional factors and signaling pathways in organoids compared to their in vivo tissues, informing directions of organoid protocol improvement. Overall, its outcomes will have potential contributions towards engineering more reliable in vitro tissue models, as well as reference profiling of organoids under the Human Cell Atlas project.

Projet Or.Li.N.E. (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2020)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The Orphic Lithika constitute a short poem in hexameters (774 lines) about the miraculous virtues of 29 stones, the author and the date of composition of which remain unknown. The aim of my research is to provide an overall study of this relatively poorly studied text, which is still lacking today: a reliable critical text, a faithful translation of the poem accessible even to non-classicists, and an extensive historical-literary and philosophical commentary which sheds light on the exact significance of a little-known text and its context of production. The methodology and approach that I will implement for the constitution of the text, the translation and the commentary will be traditional. The most innovative aspect of my work will consist in the attempt to propose a new comprehensive interpretation of the poem, starting from the hypothesis of its composition at the end of the 4th century AD within the milieu of the pagan philosophers who were friends and followers of the emperor Julian (361-363) – also known as “the Apostate” due to his failed attempt to restore pagan religious traditions in a Roman Empire which, by his times, had largely become Christianized. This project will enhance my creative and innovative scholarly potential and enable me to diversify my individual competence in terms of new skills acquisition, thanks to advanced training and international mobility. This would by in full conformity to the spirit and mission of the Marie Curie actions.
