Projet DDMS (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Anthropogenic disturbances, such as nutrient pollution and overfishing, threaten coral reefs by facilitating community shifts from reef-building corals to algae, increasing production of algal-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM). DOM is the largest food source on reefs, but cannot be consumed by most reef animals. Instead, microbes and sponges transform DOM into particles that re-enter the food web. These recycling pathways, termed the “microbial and sponge loops”, are understood as crucial ecosystem adaptations for reefs to thrive as biological hotspots under nutrient-poor conditions. However, the increased load of algal-DOM on degraded reefs has been associated with the inefficient growth of pathogenic microbes—the “microbialization of reefs”. Sponges have been hypothesized to further stimulate this microbialization by feeding on increased algal-DOM and accelerating algal proliferation via the subsequent release of nutrients. Through this “vicious circle”, microbes and sponges may jointly promote the degradation of coral reefs even faster than the usual, and much more studied, suspects of climate change (i.e., rising seawater temperature and ocean acidification). I aim to determine whether planktonic microbes and sponges compete over DOM (i.e., feed on same or different DOM components) under past, present, and future projections of available DOM. Thereto, I will characterize the composition of different DOM types (e.g., coral- and algal-DOM) and mixtures of DOM representing past, present and future DOM-producing communities and assess their availability (uptake) and utilization (metabolic processing) by planktonic microbes and sponges. I will further assess the ability of planktonic microbes to utilize sponge-processed water and vice versa. With this project I will lay the foundation to integrate microbes and sponges as understudied key ecosystem engineers into coral reef food web frameworks that will allow to elucidate the fate of future coral reefs.

Projet HARMONY (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Doctoral Networks - Industrial Doctorates
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Major developments in small satellite technologies coupled with the rapid commercialisation of New Space are disrupting the space landscape. A driving role rests with the telecommunication vertical, where market demands for global connectivity led to the emergence of LEO and MEO mega-constellation and are accelerating efforts for the integration of non-terrestrial with terrestrial networks. Core to this vision is an architectural paradigm shift from large monolithic satellites to an orchestrated network of multi-orbit spaceborne nodes of various sizes and capabilities. On the other hand, space missions traditionally dominated by governmental initiatives - such as Navigation (GNSS) and Earth observation (EO) - are slower in adopting the New Space spirit towards coordination and synergetic exploitation of emerging and established satellite systems. Yet these systems have had transformative impact on our daily lives along a plethora of applications and verticals. Anticipating the next New Space frontiers in commercially driven missions within these domains, a central view of HARMONY is that step change potential will be released by adopting distributed satellite architectures across a range of existing and new applications where the space environment provides unique benefits. Placing innovative space services at its core, HARMONY will adopt a cross-disciplinary & vertically integrated approach in the study of federated and fractionated satellite system architectures and the development of core underpinning technologies in a doctoral network that will nurture future European New Space leaders.

Projet GENIUS (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Doctoral Networks - Industrial Doctorates
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

GENIUS (Glide-symmetric mEtamaterials for iNnovative radIo-frequency commUnication and Sensing) is an Industrial Doctoral Programme led by top European actors of research and innovation in the field of radio-frequency (RF) systems with applications to aerospace communications and automotive sensing proposing novel scientific tools provided by glide-symmetric (GS) artificial materials (or metamaterials). It has recently been discovered that these metamaterials, characterized by a special symmetry inside their constitutive unit cells, possess marvelous electromagnetic (EM) properties (propagation in an ultra-large bandwidth, strong isolation and high absorption features) capable to address the open challenges of modern RF systems, motivated by the increasing demand of ubiquitous connectivity, and the growing automation of transports. GENIUS aims at training highly skilled and creative researchers capable to propose out-of-the-box solutions to industrial needs by means of their knowledge of physical properties of complex EM systems. The design of devices will be enabled by the development of suitable modelling methods (circuit-based, integral-equation-based, quasi-optical) shedding light on the properties of GS materials and providing fast and reliable data on their behaviour. The inter-sectoral character of the training reflects its inter-disciplinarity content: researchers will benefit of academic expertise in GS metamaterials, of the industrial knowledge of applicative needs and of fabrication and test facilities not commonly found at individual institutions. GENIUS will be the only international training program bringing together metamaterial physics and application-oriented RF design. Its researchers will benefit of a dense network of contacts with scientists acquired during network-wide training events suitably complementing the skills acquired through research, to improve their career prospects in the European and worldwide innovation sector.

Projet ENERCAP (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Supercapacitors are a promising solution for fast charging and regenerative energy acquisition, with potential market applications in the near future, incl. e-vehicles and space applications. A deep analysis of the supercapacitor technology and market state of the art was undertaken by ENERCAP as a sound basis for a training network that meets academic and industrial needs. The results revealed that the lack of novel materials and electrolytes that meet the industrial requirements of higher energy densities and the lack of new industrially compatible materials, processes and prototypes are major challenges towards a successful market introduction of the supercapacitor technology. It became evident that Europe currently lags behind the USA and Asia in supercapacitor innovation and market performance due to the lack of intersectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration between academia and industry, a clear barrier for technology transfer and bringing innovation to the market. As a response to these challenges, ENERCAP gathered for the first time the most renowned academic players in the field together with driving force companies in order to create a European Network to Empower Research on the field of CAPacitors, ensuring technology transfer. Furthermore, ENERCAP aims to, by means of an innovative training network, create a critical mass of future top-class researchers able to respond to innovation challenges in the field of supercapacitors. ENERCAP is devoted to provide future researchers with the skills to produce innovative ideas that can be transferred to market applications. Through a comprehensive training programme driven by the needs of industry, ESRs will not only be provided with necessary interdisciplinary knowledge and research techniques but become entrepreneurially spirited researchers who own a broad range of transferable skills and are able to envisage the needs of markets and end-users while being at the frontier of research.

Projet iCircular3 (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Circularity has opened up new markets and business opportunities, domestically and outside the EU. However, opportunities are being missed due to low reuse and recycling rates. iCircular3 creates a cohort of future leaders in research, policy, and business through its innovative training programme focused on the Circular Economy. Three leading universities supported by four industry partners will address the incorporation of circular economy principles using digital technologies throughout the product lifecycle, for three innovative and strategic sectors for the European economy: industrial robots, outdoor power products, and electric vehicles. Each sector will explore the possibilities of a circular lifecycle through four perspectives: 1. Product and service design: exploring opportunities for circularity in the design of outdoor power products, electric vehicles, and industrial robots. 2. Reverse supply chains: understanding and overcoming recovery barriers in these industries. 3. Users and stakeholders: ensuring stakeholder engagement in the transition towards more circularity, for instance by engaging outdoor power product consumers in the development of Reverse Logistics systems, and improving the recycling rates of electric vehicles from a consumer perspective. 4. Systems: developing digital tools and decision support systems that foster circularity. iCircular3 will recruit and train 9 Researchers to conduct sector-specific projects related to circular lifecycle perspectives; combined together, the projects will contribute to the development of new guidelines and digital tools for the integration of circularity in industry, as well as the identification of cross-sector commonalities. The strong academic/industry interaction in iCircular3 will ensure the relevance of each research project. Researchers will receive high-level industry-led research training and professional development courses, with a view to open up their career perspectives.

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

Sepsis is a global health challenge, accounting for around 20% of deaths worldwide. While sepsis is induced by uncontrolled dissemination of infection, significant contribution to disease pathogenesis is made by overwhelming production of proinflammatory mediators, a so-called “cytokine storm”. There is a pressing need for new target therapies to dampen this immunopathogenesis while still allowing bacterial clearance. Although Natural Killer (NK) cells are vital for host innate responses, they are important contributors to the tissue damage during bacterial sepsis, in particular, via production of excessive amounts of IFNg. Therefore, dampening NK cell IFNg production represents a promising tool for sepsis treatment. Recent studies from the host institution have shown that metabolic processes are essential for NK cell functions. In particular, certain amino acid transporters are key to support IFNg expression by NK cells. I thus hypothesize that limiting amino acid supply to NK cells will restrict production of IFNg, dampen the cytokine storm, and improve the course of bacterial sepsis. To prove this idea, I will combine my experience in mouse models of septic shock with host institution’s background on immunometabolism and bacterial infections. First, I will employ a powerful “metabolic toolbox” established at the supervisor’s lab to characterize metabolic phenotype of NK cells in bacterial sepsis. Next, I will use mice with genetic ablation of key amino acid transporters specifically in NK cells to study their role in “cytokine storm” during sepsis. Finally, I will test pharmacological compounds, able to limit amino acid availability, for their potential to prevent excessive inflammation during sepsis. At the end of the project, I will acquire key professional skills, including “metabolic toolbox” and bacterial infection model, that will benefit my further career, as well as characterize new potential therapeutic opportunity for treatment of sepsis.
