Projet Black Cinema-Going (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

This project aims to re-construct the experience of cinema-going in black communities of New York during the interwar period. In drawing on a plethora of multidisciplinary resources – personal correspondence, diary entries, cinema records, fan letters, local news stories and articles from historical black press – it will investigate the roles played by cinema, the dominant form of entertainment at the time, in shaping the lives of African-American women in Manhattan. New York is a fruitful site for the investigation of debates of race and mass entertainment because of the high concentration of black migrants and cinemas: 305 film venues operated in Manhattan in 1927, whilst other 39 were planning to open or were under construction. According to US census data, 12 percent of the Manhatanittes were black in 1930. The study will culminate in the creation of an interactive, digital map of cinema-going, which will allow its users to experience the richness of black movie culture through personalised stories of women who attended movie theatres at the time. Produced in Scalar – with written content supported by visuals such as film posters, cinema programmes and photographs of the location – each geographical location will provide a gateway for the map users to explore the plethora of historical data in a more accessible, narrativised format. The map will be a freely available online tool, which will further advance the work of scholars working across all domains in humanities. Existing, sparse scholarship on cinema-going in the early film period, concentrates itself with culturally dominant, white audience. In assuming a homogenic demographic, it overlooks the lived experience of African-American women in a racially segregated country. In looking at race and gender specific form of spectatorship, I seek to re-address this scholarly bias. The objective is to uncover how cinema-going became embedded in black communities, as well as in the lives of black individuals.

Projet PEREDEP (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

This project assesses the potential and limitations of ‘e-rulemaking’ in the European Union (EU). The theoretical approach employed in this research project addresses citizen participation and e-rulemaking through the lens of deliberative democracy theory and new media theory with specific references to legal theory. Along with the novel theoretical dimension that this project will propose regarding law-making procedures in the EU, the researcher aims to produce outcomes that are informed by relevant empirical analysis and are of practical value. To this end, she proposes to examine the specific erulemaking initiative at EU level, through the organization of a workshop with participants from all over Europe that will participate in a real e-rulemaking event in order to assess the potential and possible shortcomings of an e-rulemaking initiative in the EU. As the project aspires to provide valuable contribution to the current ‘Better Regulation” of the EC the researcher will reach her final conclusions after formal engagement and consultation with the Secretariat General of the EU and the newly established Regulatory Scrutiny Board (2016) which exercises a ‘quality assurance role” in the ‘Better regulation Agenda’ of the EC. The researcher aims to organize two short study visits at the European Commission for consultation with EU institutions and sharing of research results. The project addresses two major topics: responsible citizenship and the prerequisites for qualitative civic participation in an e-rulemaking initiative following-deliberative procedures.The project is in nature interdisciplinary as the research it proposes stands at the crossroads of political science (with specific attention to deliberation theory and participatory democracy), media studies (with specific attention to new media theory and e-participation) and certainly law as it refers to law making procedures in the EU.

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

This project begins with the hypothesis that the origins of the French Wars of Religion (1562-98) must be traced to events in Scotland between 1557 and 1560 when Scottish Calvinists (Lords of the Congregation), with the support of their allies in England, overthrew the French Catholic regency of Mary of Guise. The multiple relations between England, Scotland and France were to have a major impact on events across Europe in the 1560s, profoundly altering the political and diplomatic balance of power in Europe. In particular, the Calvinist revolt in Scotland was to have a major impact in France. The ways in which events in Scotland inspired French Protestants to overthrow the existing political and religious order in the 1560s has been largely neglected by historians. This project therefore has a strong methodological and historiographical focus: the interactions and similarities between Scotland and France are such that it is necessary to go beyond traditional diplomatic and national histories. This project will seek to investigate and delineate the transnational aspects of the Calvinist revolt that bound English, Scottish and French religious and political events in the 1550s and 1560s into a connected history. It will also seek to demonstrate the impact of this connected history for the wider history of Europe. In particular, the formation of an embryonic Calvinist International in the 1560s, the shaping of Spanish foreign policy and its repercussions in the Low Countries.

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

This project brings together a diverse group of subject matter experts from industry and academia under one umbrella, with the main aim of enhancing and advancing future healthcare processes and systems using sensory and machine learning technologies to provide emotional (affective) and cognitive insights into patients well-being so as to provide them with more effective treatment across multiple medical domains. The objective is to develop technologies and methods that will lessen the enormous and growing health care costs of dementia and related cognitive impairments that burden European citizens, which is estimated to cost over €250 Billion by 2030 [1]. From a technical perspective, the primary objective is to “develop a cloud based affective computing [2] operating system capable of processing and fusing multiple sensory data streams to provide cognitive and emotional intelligence for AI connected healthcare systems”. In particular the consortium intends to: • Specify and engineer the architecture of the SenseCare platform and will release two versions of the platform cloud infrastructure during the life of the RISE project. • Create and evaluate two use case test pilots (relating to the dementia care and connected health medical domains) that integrate with, use and apply the services of the SenseCare platform. • Specify and engineer a number of medical informatics applications that will run on the SenseCare platform and that will also be tested and evaluated as part of the use case test pilot phases. The outputs of the project will lead to significant and lasting impact on the innovation potential of the individual researchers, their host organisations as well as impacting in a much wider sense at a European and global level.

Projet QuasiHyp (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Mathematics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

This project concerns research on the frontier between discrete mathematics and computer science, and focuses on studying properties of randomly behaving discrete structures. Specifically, it studies quasi-random properties of k-uniform hypergraphs by using a combination of hypergraph regularity methods and flag algebras. The properties the project will be mainly focused on are containments and counting small substructures in large quasi-random hypergraphs. These questions are closely related to problems from other areas such as number theory, algorithm design, and property testing.

Projet SPINSWITCH (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

This project deals with an exchange programme of seven research teams with the aim to establish and consolidate a network for the design of innovative multifunctional materials based upon iron(II) spin crossover complexes: their synthesis, magnetic and spectroscopic studies, investigations on their crystalline, liquid crystalline and morphological structures, pressure effects on spin crossover properties and, particularly, their implementation into pressure sensors. The synthetic part of this project aims to access novel types of crystalline and liquid crystalline spin crossover complexes, hybrid luminescent materials, photo-switchable liquid crystalline compounds, composites and nano-objects of original morphologies and transition characteristics. These switchable materials will become a matter of different experiments under pressure: magnetic and Mӧssbauer measurements under hydrostatic pressure and optical experiments in a gas pressure cell. This will allow to reach an important impact on the synthesis of new bistable materials, on their behaviour under pressure, and to make them an active part of different pressure sensors. The academic participants involved in this work have collaborated on joint projects and have co-authored several scientific papers. The two industrial institutions have a recognized expertise in organic and material synthesis, commercialization, as well possessing experience on elaboration of spin transition materials. The establishment of this joint exchange programme will promote and strengthen the complementarity of the participants and will stimulate cross-fertilization, thus forming an excellent centre of synergy in research, innovation and technology in the area of functional materials. This network offers a complete training in the synthesis and characterization of new spin crossover materials for various applications.

Projet GENESE 17 (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Physics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

This project deals with the theoretical description and explanation of the phenomenology of geometries manifested in the shapes of exotic nuclei. The phenomenology concerns low-energy states of a nucleus under study and transitions between them. The project consists of two parts. Part I will provide theoretical descriptions of experimental data, chiefly taken in GANIL with Radioactive-Ion Beams, related with shape coexistence (objective GN1), pear-shaped nuclei (GN2) and shape/ phase transitions (GN3). The theoretical models to be used are the Geometric Collective Model (GCM) and the Shell Model (SM). Part II will introduce conformal symmetry in nuclear structure as a means to explain the occurrence of nuclear shapes. It will be introduced in the SM (GN4) to investigate the emergence of the GCM from complex many-body calculations. This will be achieved by extending the SU(3) model of quadrupole deformation and a related description of octupole deformation through algebraic methods used in classical Yang-Mills theories. Conformal symmetry will also be introduced in the GCM (GN5) as a means to import higher symmetries in the GCM and investigate their relation with single-particle effects. This will be achieved based on a geometric method using formal correspondences with cosmological models, recently explored by the candidate. These correspondences will be extended to methods used in the gravitational multipole moments with the aim to propose the conformal symmetry of space as a fundamental symmetry of the nuclear multipole moments. In parallel, patterns of conformal symmetry in nuclear structure will be investigated numerically within the Interacting Boson Model. The theoretical results of Part II will be examined in shape coexistence, pear shaped nuclei and shape/phase transitions. During this entire project precious transfer of knowledge will occur between the candidate, the supervisor and the experimental groups in GANIL.

Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

This project deals with the use of metal-based fused diporphyrins as electrocatalysts for HER/CO2 reduction. The objectives of the proposed work are as follows: i) Synthesis of metal complexes of substituted free base monoporphyrin derivatives bearing hydrophilic groups at the periphery (-SO3H, CH3PhSO3H, phenolic –OH groups). Moreover, attempts will be made to introduce functional groups positioned at the secondary coordination sphere facilitating interaction between metal with protons. ii) Synthesis of fused diporphyrins from respective monoporphyrin derivatives. Elucidation of their geometric and electronic structures through electrochemical, spectroscopic, and X-ray diffraction analyses. iii) Evaluation of the catalytic activity of the metal complexes in HER and CO2 reduction in both aqueous and non-aqueous mediums. A particular emphasis will be laid on the competitive/tandem proton and CO2 reduction, as well as on the interplay of two metal centers for efficient catalysis. iv) Quantification of electrocatalytic efficiency, and elucidation of mechanistic pathway to develop structure-activity correlations. Detailed information’s regarding implementation of objectives have been mentioned in Section 3 of the Part-B containing individual milestones for each sections and expected time period for execution. The proposed research project,if approved,is expected to bring about significant breakthroughs in the field of HER/CO2 reduction reactions. Furthermore, the study will provide new insights into the mechanistic pathway, which in turn will open up new avenues for the development of more efficient and cost-effective catalysts. Besides, the fellowship will provide an exciting opportunity to the researcher to develop new expertise, acquire knowledge, increase professional contacts and lastly a global exposure via mobility between different labs. Together all these skill sets will drastically improve the employability of the researcher in both industry or in academia.

Projet WCVolcano (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

This project delivers a multi-faceted approach to understanding the halogen, ozone, and mercury chemistry of volcanic plumes in the troposphere. Small eruptions and continuous degassing volcanoes release halogens that are converted into reactive forms (e.g. BrO) in the plume and are known to have significant impacts such as the destruction of ozone and conversion of mercury into more toxic forms. However, at present, we lack the tools to quantify these impacts. By combining novel model and measurement approaches to this problem, this project will provide a very first quantification of the local-to-regional impacts on tropospheric ozone and mercury. To deliver this break-through the ER, Host and academic and industry partners each bring complementary expertise in high- and low-temperature plume models, multi-phase chemistry, satellite remote sensing, small sensors, and in-situ measurement of volcanic plume gases. The resulting ER’s training-by-research will place him at the centre of an EU collaborative activity on volcanic halogens. Central to this project is the ER’s development of a new atmospheric chemistry model of volcanic halogen impacts, WCV, with initialization based on high-temperature emissions. This tool will be an extension of the free and open-source community 3D model WRF-Chem and will be made available under the same terms. The ER will evaluate WCV through analyzing data from the newly-launched Sentinel 5-P satellite to trace volcanic BrO-SO2 at unprecedented resolution. Two field campaigns will make in-situ measurements of volcanic emissions and plume mercury, by industry mini-sensors and sampling methods. The combined WCV model-observation approach will make some very first case study assessments of volcanic halogen impacts on tropospheric ozone and mercury over local-to-regional scales. It will fill a critical gap in our understanding and quantification of volcanic plume hazards, bringing tools of strong interest to both research and policy groups.

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

This project entitled ‘‘Sanskrit Śaiva Intellectuals in the Empire: Innovations, Textual Practices and Religious Interactions in the Late Vijayanagara period’’ examines the transformative role of Sanskrit Śaiva intellectuals in reshaping the religious landscape of South India during the late Vijayanagara period, i.e., from the mid-fifteenth century to the end of the sixteenth century. It is intended to be the first in-depth study of the intellectual history of two influential Śaiva schools of philosophical theology―Śivādvaita Vedānta and Vīraśaivism―on the basis of a rigorous philological and contextual analysis of selected Sanskrit and vernacular textual sources as well as epigraphic material. The evidence will be discussed in terms of the schools’ major doctrinal and philosophical positions, textual practices, as well as mutual influences and interactions with other religious groups. The aims of this project are: 1) to assess the impact of Sanskrit Śaiva intellectuals on the broader intellectual and religious world of the late Vijayanagara period, and their relation to the Vijayanagara royal court; and 2) to shed new light on the complex relationships between the various religious groups active during the last decades of the empire, in a context of increasing sectarian debates and dramatic socio-cultural transformations. The project will be carried out at the University of Oxford, one of the most renowned centres in Europe for the study of late medieval and early modern Sanskrit intellectual history.
