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

The main goal of passive tracking of people and things (PATH) is to define a new paradigm for physical behavior inference, where the dynamics of physical entities are tracked with minimal implementation cost, maximal privacy preservation, and intrinsically protected secrecy. PATH relies on the detection, tracking, and behavior analysis of targets without active devices, by integrating such capabilities in infrastructures for the Internet of things (IOT) that are already present in a monitored environment. This enables several applications including visitor counting and flow monitoring. The objectives of PATH are: (i) to develop a framework for system design and analysis, as well as to derive fundamental limits; (ii) to devise advanced techniques for detection and exploitation of networks of opportunity; (iii) to develop inference techniques based on wireless networks properties for intrinsically secure tracking; (iv) to recognize new patterns related to targets dynamics based on signal feature extraction; (v) to establish a proof-of-concept for an industrial-driven use case. PATH will enhance the potential of the experienced researcher (ER) by relying on: (i) the solid experience of the successful Ph.D. completed by the young ER, which included a year as a visiting student in the USA; (ii) a challenging, interdisciplinary, and multi-sectorial work program; (iii) a genuine mobility program with an outgoing phase at a top tier university, supervised by a world-renowned expert in the field, and with an incoming phase at a high ranked and growing research group; (iv) a secondment program at a leading industry in the field, which confirms the industrial interest and that is tailored to the ER, with an evident commitment in terms of supervision and infrastructures; (v) a rich, five-fold training program, not limited to training through research; (vi) an implementation plan agreed with an advisory board for an efficient achievement of the ambitious objectives.

Projet SPINMULTIFILM (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Physics
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The main goal of the project is the elaboration of research and development principles and technology, as well as creation of novel nanoheterostructures for application in spintronic devices, first of all, in magnetic field sensors and magnetoresistive random access memories. The key research and technological aspects are focused on the formation of layers and/or nanosized grains of a ferromagnetic material with an ultimate degree of conduction electron spin polarization, separated by dielectric interlayers. The main research, technological and innovation aspects of the work are aimed at an increase of the devices’ sensitivity to magnetic fields thanks to the high degree of spin polarization and to the magnetoresistance due to electron quantum tunneling through dielectric barriers. The proposed creation methods of the device prototypes can be rapidly implemented in the automotive, electronic and biomedical industries by means of a rather simple technology, which makes them attractive for the industry across the EU, as only the standard technological equipment is used. The new generation spintronic devices to be developed in the present project will possess high sensitivity, speed performance and low energy consumption. The project aims as well at the creation of a stimulating and interdisciplinary training partnership, with actors from the academia and private sector, promoting the exchange of ideas, methods, techniques as well as enabling an accelerated technology transfer from science to industry through a continuous collaboration between the stakeholders. Working on spintronics demands strongly innovative and interdisciplinary skills, since there is a lot of pressure from the private sector to develop new original solutions for the modern devices. Training of the high-level personnel possessing complementary interdisciplinary skills is thus a key issue.

Projet EARMEDCASTILE (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main goal of the project is to analyse the emergency and the collapse of states in the Early Middle Ages through the study of production and distribution systems, which are consider a marker of social and political complexity. The project is based on two main axes: first at all, an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of pottery would have the capability of revealing the political background of economic exchange. And even if this approach has been successfully applied to the study of process such as the end of the Roman Empire, at the same time our knowledge about the formation of state in South of Europe is very limited. Secondly, the North of Iberia represents an excellent case study for investigating the transformation of political structure in Early Medieval Europe, taking into account that in this scenario five different states rose and collapsed within only five centuries. Production, distribution and consumption systems would be analysed, in order to highlights evidence for social and political complexity related with the emergence of states. In practical terms, early medieval pottery from 14 sites located in the Old Castile would be studied by Dr. Francesca Grassi, PhD on Medieval Archaeology. The main steps of the project would be (a) the identification of the main workshops located in the upper Ebro valley in early medieval times; (b) the analyses of consumption patterns, by combining pottery studies with bioarchaeological and palaeodiet evidence; (c) the definition of political trends at a local scale and the change of scale that determined the structuration of central powers taking into consideration the distribution systems. The results of the Spanish case studies will be discussed with reference to previous studies carried out in Italy by the candidate, with the aim of inserting the project in a European dimension; this would be achieved by enhancing the existing dialogue between two research groups, GIPyPAC (UPV/EHU) and University of Siena.

Projet IPLATFORM (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main goal of the proposed project is to provide an advanced mathematical model (WRF-BioChem) for modelling the emission, dispersion and concentration of bioaerosols at the regional scale. The model will with this development be able to handle feedback mechanisms between biology, chemistry and weather. The model is developed to go beyond state-of-the-art by developing the mathematical model for oak pollen and by doing it at the species level. The project supported by a three companion projects on grass pollen, fungal spores (Alternaria) and pathogens – all at species level. These projects deliver the needed resources for detection. As such the mathematical model will be a validated model that will be generally applicable for bioaerosols including pollen, pathogens and fungal spores. Detection of pollen will be carried out by supporting staff and projects using both traditional methods based on optical detection at the genus level and next generation sequencing at the species level. This proposal requires multidisciplinary approach to the problem as pollen appearance and behaviour in the air is dependent on many factors, including meteorological conditions, chemical composition of the atmosphere or surface properties as well as feedbacks between these elements. WRF-Chem currently used in air quality modelling will therefore be adapted for studying transport of bioaerosols in a way consistent with the transport and transformation of other air pollutants. Until now, no atmospheric model is used for the simulation of pollen at the species level in either Europe or in USA. Also, it will be the first time simulations of oak pollen will be possible in Europe or in USA. Also, it will be the first time simulations of oak pollen will be possible in Europe. Finally, it will be the first mathematical model that allows for a full feedback between meteorology, chemistry, bioaerosols and the terrestrial biosphere. The model developments will be implemented in forecasting.

Projet NANOxCOMP (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main goal of this project is developing a complete synthesis and optimization methodology for switching nano-crossbar arrays that leads to the design and construction of an emerging nanocomputer. New computing models for diode, FET, and four-terminal switch based nanoarrays are developed. The proposed methodology implements both arithmetic and memory elements, necessitated by achieving a computer, by considering performance parameters such as area, delay, power dissipation, and reliability. With combination of arithmetic and memory elements a synchronous state machine (SSM), representation of a computer, is realized. The proposed methodology targets variety of emerging technologies including nanowire/nanotube crossbar arrays, magnetic switch-based structures, and crossbar memories. The results of this project will be a foundation of nano-crossbar based circuit design techniques and greatly contribute to the construction of emerging computers beyond CMOS. The topic of this project can be considered under the research area of “Emerging Computing Models” or “Computational Nanoelectronics”, more specifically the design, modeling, and simulation of new nanoscale switches beyond CMOS. The topic is well addressed and fit in H2020 work programmes FET (Future and Emerging Technologies) and ICT-25 (Generic Micro- and Nano-electronic Technologies).

Projet AsymHalogenation (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main goal of this project is the development and optimization of the first general methodology for intermolecular asymmetric halogenation of olefins and the application of NMR spectroscopy to understand and control this process. The carefully controlled application of nucleophiles in intermolecular asymmetric halogenation would be extremely desirable because it could be used as a powerful tool to generate a wide array of structural motifs of exceptional impact for the society. In this project, the asymmetric catalysis is proposed by stabilizing a bispyridine halonium complex in a chiral environment during both reaction with the olefin and subsequent attack of the nucleophile, i.e. a stoichiometric amount of stabilized complex will react with the double bond and then be exposed to the incoming nucleophile, all under the regime of the generated chiral environment. Thus, the project will encompass the synthesis of structurally diverse bispyridine ligands and their halonium complexes and then, the elucidation of the influencing factors on the kinetics of the halogenation reaction by UV and NMR spectroscopy. Ultimately, the knowledge gained in this part of the project will be transferred to the design of bispyridine ligands containing asymmetric centers to induce chirality in the halogenation reaction. One or several series of ligands will be produced and screened for chiral induction via chiral HPLC of the product mixture. The applicability of the approach on several different model reactions will be proven. The chiral products should be obtained with a high degree of regio- and enantioselectivity. The bispyridine ligand used to form the stabilized complex can be recovered by extraction or precipitation and therefore its use is expected to be feasible in large scale reactions. Chiral haloalkanes, the products of asymmetric halogenation, are crucial building blocks and intermediates for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and functional materials, for example.

Projet HIEIC (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Physics
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The main goal of this project is to reinforce and expand a long-lasting collaboration network between research centers of excellence from EU and the USA aimed at addressing fundamental questions in the physics of dense systems produced in high energy collisions of proton-proton (pp), proton-nucleus (pA) and heavy-ion collisions (HICs). The greatest challenge is to understand whether the final state of such a collision (especially when the size of colliding objects is small) has a character of a genuine strongly interacting medium like Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), or whether the observed characteristics (such as correlations between produced particles) can be explained by a non trivial quantum mechanical nature of the colliding objects due to saturation physics. To meet this challenge we propose a two-pronged approach: on one hand a dedicated study of quantum mechanical effects in the environment of dense partonic wave function in the saturation regime, and on the other a systematic improvement of the current quantitative approaches, based on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and studying their phenomenological implications. These goals will be accomplished by means of joint research activities which will be developed through the mobility of individual researchers. The main research objectives of the proposal are: A: Quantifying importance of quantum interference in correlated particle production, specifically concentrating on effects of saturation in the wave function of energetic proton on its quantum properties. B: Development of a comprehensive theoretical framework to study saturation physics both at leading and next to leading orders in the QCD coupling constant. C: Phenomenological description of saturation-sensitive observables in pp, pA and HICs. D: Application of the results of the research to future projects, specifically electron-ion colliders under proposal in the US (the Electron-Ion Collider EIC) and at CERN (the Large Hadron-electron Collider LHeC ).
