Projet LATILMA (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The aim of the project "Latin American Testimonies in Italy: a Living Library Between the Mediterranean and the Andes" is the collection, analysis, and dissemination of testimonies of Latin American migration to Italy during the last thirty years. The study will be carried out from a gender perspective, focusing on the migration of women and LGBTQ people, to underline cultural and literary aspects related to migration and determined by migrants' intersectional conditions. In addition, particular attention will be paid to testimonies by people from the Andean area, given their importance in Italy. The collection of "migrant memories" from a gender perspective will take place both in Italy and in the area of ​​origin of the Andean migrant communities, thus wanting to reconstruct the narrative of a to-and-fro migration. The project wishes to underline the creation of an image of the migratory experience that also involves places of departure, families and that, in this way, tells the cultural impact of migration both on the places of origin and on those of arrival, overcoming a vision of migration as a linear and one-way process, on the one hand, and also overcoming old concepts such as those of “center” and “periphery” at a cultural level. In the second part of the project, the collected testimonies will be published as an online, multimedia, and open access anthology. It will include an introduction written by the Researcher and by two authors selected from among those who created the included works, to recognize the subjectivity and authorship of the protagonists of the testimonies. The multimedia anthology will be made available, among others, to Language and Translation students of the European, American, and Intercultural Studies of the Sapienza University of Rome, so that they can create translation laboratories starting from it, thus completing this testimonial, choral and shared work.

Projet RELACS (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

In the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea (NWMED), anticyclonic eddies (clockwise spinning flows) increase fishes’ eggs and larvae (ichthyoplankton, IP) survival rate by providing protection and nutrients. However, the underlying dynamics of this retention and nursing mechanism remain not fully understood, preventing us from anticipating climate change effects on early life stages of strategic fish. RELACS aims to understand if and how climate change will impact the role of eddies in the survival of IP. Combining three novel tools to quantify the presence of these oceanic structures and I will identify the mechanisms by which these eddies retain and nurse IP. I will explore whether expected changes in future climate change scenarios could affect this mechanism. My interdisciplinary knowledge in physical and biological oceanography will be enhanced by addressing this challenge with data from two novel observing systems that will be available for the NWMED (namely, an array of High-Frequency coastal radars (HFR) and the recently launched Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) altimetry mission), and by using an unprecedented set of NWMED numerical simulations. From the observational side, I will leverage my knowledge on the SWOT altimetry data, and gain skills on HFR during my first secondment at Dr. A. Rubio’s team. I will expand my modelling skills at the hosting institution and during a second secondment with Dr. L. Renault. Then, with the help of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project climate projections, I will develop a series of scenarios for the evolution of the early stages of fishes at the region to contribute to predict the expected changes in fisheries due to changes in the environment. Finally, I will transfer the knowledge of the outcomes to society by creating a report evaluating the risks of climate change for Catalan fisheries, and the need for climate adaptation during my non-academic placement at the Catalan Research Institute for Sea Governance.

Projet ToDo-Brain (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Over 65% of the global population regularly uses two or more languages. Therefore, investigating the impact of bilingualism on memory is essential for understanding the challenges in our multilingual society. This project aims to understand how bilingual individuals recall future intentions (i.e., prospective memory-PM) in diverse linguistic contexts. ToDo-Brain focuses on the influence of the linguistic experience and the linguistic environment on the monitoring and retrieval processes underlying PM. Previous research has revealed language-dependent memory effects in episodic memory, however, these effects have never been investigated in PM. ToDo-Brain addresses this important gap by investigating whether the language itself might serve as a cue to either facilitate or hinder the monitoring and retrieval when remembering intentions. This collaborative project employs a pioneering methodology to shed light on the interplay between language and memory. By combining eye-tracking with electroencephalography (EEG) recordings and source localization analyses, ToDo-Brain includes two large studies to achieve the following research objectives (ROs): RO1. To unveil monitoring strategies due to language experience and language context, this project will test monolinguals and bilinguals in various PM tasks varying in nature (i.e., linguistic or visual); RO2. To explore the role of language as a memory cue that influences PM monitoring and retrieval, ToDo-Brain will manipulate language congruency between the encoding and retrieval phase of a PM task. This work will provide valuable theoretical and methodological insights into how language interacts with memory. Their results will be crucial for stakeholders facing the challenges of bilingualism such as educators, families, international companies, and policymakers. The project’s training program will also significantly benefit the candidate's career development by equipping her with new scientific and transferable skills.

Projet GAMES (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

I will use this fellowship to study the Global environmental changes And recovery of primary producers over Mesozoic mass extinctions EventS: a molecular fossil approach (GAMES). The Mesozoic Era (~250 to 66 million years ago), englobe the two recent mass extinctions events in Earth history. The End-Triassic mass Extinction (ETE, dated ~203 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction (K-Pg, dated ~66 million years ago). These are unique events in the history of live in our planet, with different preconditions, drivers, and outcomes, and the ecological responses to each one has been unique as well. In fact, determining the nature of associated environmental changes and biotic recovery, is critical to understand the cause and effect of these both events. But in addition, studying and comparing different ‘key’ ancient events, will be relevant to understand on future biological disruptions and recoveries result of the current climatic change. The cause of mass extinctions has been a long-standing problem in geology. At present, is broadly accepted that the primary driver on the ETE mass extinction event, was a large magmatic activity (CAMP: Central Atlantic Magmatic Province) associated with the breakup of Pangea. While in the case of the K-Pg mass extinction event, it was a consequence of a meteorite impact in the Gulf of Mexico (Chicxulub structure). These both catastrophic events caused short and long-term paleoenvironmental changes worldwide, including the input of CO2 into the atmosphere-ocean system analogous to current anthropogenic CO2 input. After decades of research, one of the most critical lines of inquiry is to understand the short- to long-term effects of these extinctions events on the global environmental system, including the re-establishment of pre- environmental conditions and marine biological productivity

Projet GOLDENIMPACT (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : SIGNED

GOLDENIMPACT aims to understand the social impact of gold technology implementation in all sectors of society and surpass outdated traditional narratives that solely understand gold as a consolidator of elite power. Hence, the project targets the study of gold production by 1) characterising existent technological traditions, 2) understanding the social consequences of metal cross-craft interactions affecting gold production, and 3) evaluating the extent and degree of novelty of the structural changes necessary to sustain gold production. Iberia was selected as case study (3100-1500 BC) for being an archaeologically rich area with an autochthonous development of metallurgy, and outside of the traditional research loci of ancient gold technology in Eurasia.  To accomplish these objectives, this project uses a radically interdisciplinary methodology that combines knowledge from archaeology, anthropology and geology, with computational tools (R, QGIS) and materials science techniques (optical microscopy, pXRF, ICP-MS) to analyse selected gold items and deposits. As a result, it will be possible to reverse engineering and socially contextualise ancient gold production strategies and explore the links between technological and social change from a previously overlooked perspective (i.e. gold production). This will contribute to re-signify gold as a symbol of the achievements of non-elite people, and ultimately generate a more balanced narrative within the European history of technology, taking into account all society sectors and Europe’s Eastern periphery.

Projet NanoTAS (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Physics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The aim of NanoTAS is to propose a novel three-method treatment for the atherosclerosis (AS) disease based on nano-structured agents (NAs), which incorporates three kinds of methods into a single one: 1) Thermal treatment, 2) Mechanical treatment, and 3) Anti-AS drug-based treatment. The NAs employed in the NanoTAS are proposed to have a novel composite structure including magnetic agents (ferrite-based nanorods; FNRs) and plasmonic agents (Au nanostars; AuNSs). Thermal treatment is accomplished through magneto-photo thermal therapy (MPTT), a combination of magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) using FNRs under alternating magnetic field (AMF) and photothermal therapy (PTT) using AuNSs under near-infrared laser (NIR-laser) while mechanical treatment is performed through rotation of NAs (by their magnetic part i.e. FNRs) under rotating magnetic field (RMF). The NAs also load anti-AS drug and deliver it to target sites through a biocompatible and thermo-sensitive polymer. Accordingly, the specific objectives of NanoTAS can be summarized as: Oi) Decreasing the inflammation in blood vessels involved in the AS through thermal treatment (MPTT). Oii) Targeted release of anti-AS drug using a thermo-sensitive mechanism triggered by thermal treatment. Oiii) Breaking and abrading plaques using mechanical treatment through rotation of NAs under RMF. The objectives are achieved through applying the external stimuli on the drug-loaded NAs, during the following steps: Step 1) Applying both AMF and NIR-laser: This is a two-purpose step in which thermal treatment is accomplished aiming both decrease in inflammation (Oi) and drug release (Oii). Step 2) Applying RMF: This step is applied for breaking and chipping the structure of plaques (Oiii). Step 3) Repeating the step 1: This step is a supplementary one to decrease in remaining inflammation (Oi).

Projet CONCEPT-2D (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The need for inexpensive yet highly efficient optoelectronic devices such as LED/Laser/Photodetector/Solar Cells is driving the search for a new generation of semiconductors that have high absorbance in the visible, broad wavelength operation range, are transparent and flexible albeit with strong light-matter interaction, and are easy to process. Manufacturing these optoelectronic devices at a large scale involves concerns at technological, economical, ecological, social, and political levels. Ideally, the new materials are abundant, easily processed, and feature long term stability and non-toxicity. The advent of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). e.g., MoS2 and WS2, has generated great expectations since these materials fulfill all these requirements. 2D-TMDs exhibit direct band gaps, high absorption coefficients, and high carrier mobility values, making them promising candidates for optoelectronic applications. The out-of-plane quantum confinement responsible for the direct bandgap in the monolayer also allows for the modulation of the bandgap as a function of the number of layers. We propose the study of a large production of the 2D materials compatible with the CMOS industry. That pushes up the fabrication scale of the 2D material and make it compatible with the photonics integrated circuits (PICs) platform that nowadays are in the market. The co-integration of the PICs and 2D materials allows a new generation of devices, such as label-free biosensor with a small footprint, energy harvesting, room temperature quantum devices for computing and communication, and open the door to new quantum sensors.

Projet ReMOOVE (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The main objective of ReMOOVE is to study existing and novel opportunities for an integral valorisation of alperujo, a residue from the extraction of olive oil that creates significant environmental impacts. The aim of the valorisation is to obtain compounds and materials of high interest and minimise the environmental impacts associated with alperujo management. The following valorisation routes will be investigated: use of clay and fresh alperujo to manufacture ?green roofs?, recovery of compounds of interest from the liquid fraction of degreased alperujo by thermal hydrolysis, production of low-cost adsorbent materials from the solid fraction resulting from the hydrolysis process of degreased alperujo for the removal of contaminants from wastewater, and production of fuel gas by gasification of the solid fraction obtained from thermal hydrolysis of the degreased alperujo. Once the valorisation processes are defined and have been tested in a laboratory scale, a thorough environmental impact study will be carried out to ensure that the sustainability performance of the proposed alternative is superior than that of the current waste management strategy. For this, the Life-Cycle Assessment methodology will be used to evaluate environmental impacts for all relevant impact categories, from the moment alperujo is obtained until alperujo and all its by-products are managed. A socio-economic assessment and resilience & risk analysis will also be performed in the last stages of the project to ensure the solutions proposed are viable at an industrial scale. It is expected to integrate the alperujo valorisation processes into the olive oil industry, upgrading existing manufacturing plants to olive oil biorefineries and therefore supporting the circularity in this key sector in the economy of Southern Europe.

Projet VSP (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

"Voices of Spanish Poets" aims to present a first experimental study of Spanish poetry reading through the instruments of Digital Humanities. The main goal of VSP is to store, enhance and explore the recorded voices of XX century and contemporary Spanish poets using an interdisciplinary approach. The relationship between text and reading is crucial for appreciating the deeper musical core of poetry. Although it has been treated through mainly theoretical approaches, more recent international experimental studies, based on audio recordings, offer novel avenues of exploration which still require further development. While poetry vocal archives constitute a major source of input for the main schools working on this issue, research dealing with Spanish poetry reading has not yet been carried out. The VSP project fills this knowledge gap by means of its four main objectives: to create a dynamic digital platform for the study and listening of Spanish poetry reading; to conduct an Experimental Phonetic study on the VSP archive, developing a first History of Spanish poetry reading; to study poetry reading through an Experimental Psycholinguistic, Cognitive and Psychophysiologic approach, considering the perception and representation of the text through listening; to integrate these two last research approaches. This proposal will combine qualitative, quantitative, and comparative approaches. Based on innovative and interdisciplinary methods, VSP can make a great difference in the success and dissemination of the research field of poetry reading study. The VSP platform aims to be an important digital resource for listening and learning of poetry. The integrated experimental studies can contribute to the improvement of performance and teaching strategies and innovate the approach to reading poetry. The project is suited to further applications and can be the starting point for future collaborative research groups and wider multi-language projects.

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

As a microbiologist with an expertise based on the study of the genetic response of microorganisms to their environment and other microorganisms, with a strong background in myxobacterial biology, I will study the induction of new antibiotic compounds in predator-prey co-cultures through the LYSM project. A transcriptome analysis of the predator bacterium Myxococcus xanthus in such conditions has revealed the induction of five genes coding for proteins with peptidoglycan-binding LysM domains together with several gene clusters involved in the production of secondary metabolites. The LYSM project will be carried out at the Department of Microbiology of the Universidad de Granada (UGR) under the supervision of Prof. José Muñoz Dorado. Their current line of research in bacterial predation and the experience I acquired throughout my international post-doctoral stages will create a strong synergy where we will achieve greater advances than we would separately. His research group counts with several experts in myxobacteria, bacterial predation, and transcriptional regulation, and an excellent network of international collaborators, that will contribute to the success of this project. This research project aims to discover mechanisms to “awaken” silent new secondary metabolites genes of M. xanthus through predator-prey interaction focusing on the role of peptidoglycan-binding proteins during predation.
