Projet PEROGAN (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Physics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The proposal aims to produce novel light emitters by merging two promising semiconductor families, III-Nitrides and lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (LHP NCs) into novel nanostructured architectures. III-Nitrides are established emitters with widespread use in the lighting industry and high-density optical disks and with great promises for power electronic applications. On the other hand, the field of LHP NC photonics is at its infancy but breakthroughs have already been accomplished with demonstrations of optically-pumped lasers and light emitting diodes (LEDs). Research on the two material families has thus far proceeded independently. Yet new architectures with improved performance and functionality may emerge from their integration into hybrid devices that can exploit the favourable properties of each, namely the superior electrical properties and established technology of the nitrides with the ease of solution-processability, visible spectral tunability and high emission quantum yields (QY) of the LHP NCs. The proposed project will be investigating the potential flow of energy from the donor material (III-nitrides) to the acceptor (LHP NC), via radiative pumping but also via efficient non-radiative Förster energy transfer (FRET,) under optical and electrical excitation. Additionally is aiming to demonstrate hybrid electrically excited nanostructure devices, allowing the two materials to exist with nanoscale proximity. Moreover, the project is targeting to the fabrication of electrical-excited of a hybrid microcavity-based heterostructures, via an elaborate design of two back to back microcavities. The outcome of this project is expected to particularly benefit the scientific semiconductor area and industry fro the development of efficient high colour rendering index (CRI) LEDs for solid state lighting and display applications.The methodology for a demonstration of novel light emitters is highlighted in work packages (WPs) 3 to 5.

Projet CLUSDEV MED (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Economic Sciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The proposal lies within priority research & innovation topics in EU-Mediterranean cooperation, as highlighted in several past projects and policies reccomendations, i.e. within the MOCO - Monitoring Committee for Euro-Mediterranean Cooperation in RTD. International Cluster Cooperation offers opportunities to scal up research and technological potential, enhance competitiveness, support the regional socio-economic development and reinforce the market placement of new, innovative products. These cooperation approaches often fail due to constraints on resources, capabilities, instruments and funding. On the other hand, over 2.000 Clusters only in the European Union covering all sectors and able to realize an intersectorial framework, as well as related clusters and networks in the southern Mediterranean countries, form a great potential for transnational clustering. The EU’s framework for state aid defines innovative clusters as follows: “Innovation clusters mean grouping of indipendent and innovative start-ups, small, medium and large undertakings as well as research organizations operating in a particular sector and region, and designed to stimulate innovative activity by promoting intensive interactions, sharing of facilities and exchange of knowledge and expertise, and by contributing effectively to technology transfer, networking and information dissemination among the undertakings in the cluster”. Taking into account the current socio-economic situations ClusDevMed priority topics are, in particular: - Agribusiness, agro food, food security – Energy - Water Core research areas is: Green Tech in the field of Clustering Activities

Projet CYPRESS (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : European Researchers' Night
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The proposal “CYPRESS”, standing for “CYprus Promotes RESearch and Science”, aims at organising two Researchers’ Night events, one in 2016 in Nicosia, celebrating the 10 years of the events in Cyprus and one in 2017 in Limassol, focusing on Cultural Heritage Research, on the occasion of Pafos being the European Capital of Culture. CYPRESS’ Coordinator, the Research Promotion Foundation (RPF), as the National Agency for supporting Research and Innovation (R&I), has within its remit gained a long experience in organising activities for the promotion of R&I towards the public and especially the younger generation, with the Researchers’ Night events being an integral part of its philosophy since 2006, with or without EC support, but always with vivid support from the National Research System. RPF has secured the collaboration of all Universities in Cyprus, the major Research Institutes and Centres, R&I-intensive Enterprises (mainly SMEs), Public Authorities, End Users and the Civil Society and for the first time Industrialist and Employers’ Associations, covering the Quadruple Helix of Innovation in a complementary way. As a novelty, RPF will also utilise a bottom up approach to attract new partners and will establish links with international partners. Building on past experiences, CYPRESS will bring together researchers from all sectors and disciplines, along with the public, increasing appreciation of the researchers’ work, raising awareness on the importance of R&I for society and the economy and motivating children to take up a career in research. Through a balanced mix of educational and entertaining, interactive activities, aiming at people of all ages, genders and educational backgrounds, and with the contribution of volunteers from the partners and RPF, the events will celebrate R&I achievements, especially EU funded and will ultimately remove stereotypes about the researchers’ profession, creating a much needed R&I culture among the Cypriot population.

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

The proposed Fellowship unites a recently established patient cohort from Northern Finland with the extensive expertise of the host laboratory in investigating cerebellar disease to study spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), a heterogeneous group of incurable brain diseases defined by ataxia, or a loss of motor coordination. To date, genome wide analysis studies have associated >40 genes with driving SCAs. The vast clinical and genetic heterogeneity of the SCAs poses a significant challenge and as a result, no treatments are available for patients with SCA. Therefore, the need for novel treatment options or, at the minimum, suitable disease models, is urgent. The Fellowship aims to create disease-relevant cellular models of a subgroup of SCA using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC). These hiPSC lines have been derived from patients diagnosed with one of four SCAs (types 14, 29, 41 or 44), which are genetically distinct but may share common molecular disease mechanisms involving the mGluR1/IP3R1/TRPC3 signalling pathway. The project focuses on the IP3R1 receptor which regulates the development of Purkinje cells (PCs), the sole output neurons of the cerebellar cortex, and represents a convergent point in the pathomechanism of several ataxia disorders. To identify key disease mechanisms in this subgroup of SCAs, the hiPSCs will be differentiated into monolayer PCs and cutting-edge cerebellar organoids, which more fully recapitulate the cellular organisation of the cerebellum. The disease phenotypes will then be characterised using a combination of methods in biochemistry, molecular biology, visualisation and transcriptomics. Finally, we will adapt the differentiation protocol to a 96-well format to enable high-throughput drug screening. Ultimately, the proposed Fellowship aims to be the first study in Europe to use cutting-edge hiPSC differentiation protocols to interrogate disease mechanisms in SCA and set the stage for the discovery of novel therapeutic options.

Projet ModCompShock (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Mathematics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The proposed ITN entitled "Modelling and computation of Shocks and Interfaces" will focus on the training of young researchers in the general area of nonlinear hyperbolic and convection dominated PDEs with emphasis on innovative modelling and computational methods. The research program of the proposed ITN is centered on an important field (in terms of both history and scope), that is placed at the forefront of modern Computational and Applied Mathematics. The fact that hyperbolic convection dominated PDEs is probably one of the very few areas within Computational and Applied Mathematics, where traditionally modelling, Physics, Mechanics, analytical approaches, and advanced computational methods have contributed in synergy to several achievements to date, makes this field eminently suitable to train young researchers in. These researchers can become research leaders in a wide area as well as impacting on both industry and non-academic scientific institutions. The network will consist of some of Europe's leading research groups on hyperbolic PDEs, and includes experts on Modelling, Analysis and Computation. A well defined training program is outlined in the proposal. The training program emphasises the European and international dimension of the effort. The training design is expected to produce effective results and foster the expertise on how to structure doctoral training at the European level and enhance the innovation capacity of the involved individuals. The innovative techniques developed will be applied to diverse concrete problems ranging from fluid dynamics and geophysical flows to materials science. In the pursuance of this goal, the research groups will be assisted by experts in these areas of application and non-academic partners, resulting in a significant enhancement of the impact of the research and training program

Projet QuantGMC (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Mathematics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The proposed goal for our research program is to attack some mathematical problems arising in constructive two dimensional Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and two dimensional Quantum Gravity (QG) using probabilistic methods. The physical theory of Quantum Gravity has the aim of providing a unified framework which encompasses the two descriptions of nature provided by quantum mechanics and general relativity. The two dimensional version of the theory is more tractable than the one corresponding to the four dimensional space-time and thus is used as a testing workbench to understand higher dimensional physics. In order to reinforce the rigourous mathematical understanding of this theory, we wish to explore two particular aspects of QFT which are based on a probabilistic construction called Gaussian Multiplicative chaos. The objectives of QuantGMC are: A- To obtain an explicit construction of canonical random surfaces equipped with a structure of Kähler manifold. In technical terms this corresponds to the construction of a path integral corresponding to the coupling of Liouville functional and the Mabuchi K-energy on 2D manifold of arbitrary genus. B- To enhance the current understanding of the Quantum Sine-Gordon model, which can be interpreted as a random version of the Sine-Gordon equation. This model is conjectured to undergo an infinite sequence of collapse transitions when the inverse temperature increases. However up to now, rigorous renormalization theory of the model can only allow to witness the three first of these transitions. We plan to use Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos to provide a more efficient renormalization scheme which would allow to account for all the transitions.

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

The proposed multidisciplinary project aims to develop an automated tool to process large-scale social media data in order to understand patient feedback and provide a decision support dashboard for healthcare professionals and senior decision-makers to allow for timely responses to address patients' concerns. In particular, it will extract information relating to patient feedback and experience, automatically map the extracted opinions into various aspects of healthcare services, discover connections between elements that result in a perception of low and high quality of service and present results in a visual dashboard to facilitate timely interventions. The project requires expertise in text mining, statistical modelling, visual analytics and healthcare research. The Systems Analytics Research Institute (SARI) at Aston University will provide a suite of scientific training in Bayesian model learning and information visualisation. Additionally, the Fellow will be trained to improve his soft-skills such as foreground intellectual property (IP) protection, communication skills, financial and management skills. On the other hand, the research team will benefit from the Fellow’s strong experience in deep learning for sentiment analysis, acquired during his PhD. The Fellow will benefit from a tightly knit and extremely complementary team of academic and clinical advisors. This project will be directed by Dr. Yulan He with complementary interaction with Dr. Dan Cornford, both from SARI. Additionally, it will be carried out in collaboration with Research and Development department of Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust (HEFT), under the supervision of Dr. Dawn Chaplin, expert in patient experience analysis. Dr. Chaplin will take an active role in training the Fellow in their relevant user studies.
