Projet MULTISURF (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main objective of the proposal is development of active multi-functional surfaces with high level of self-healing ability on the basis of Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) structures formed on different industrially relevant metallic substrates. The main idea of the project is based on “smart” triggered release on demand for functional organic or inorganic anionic compounds intercalated into intergallery spaces of LDHs. The active functionality is achieved via controllable substrate-governed growth of LDH architectures on Al, Mg and Zn based alloys. The functional anions such as corrosion inhibitors, biocides, drugs, or hydrophobic agents are introduced into the intergallery spaces during the growth of LDH or upon a post-treatment stage. The release of the functional agents occurs only on demand when the respective functionality is triggered by the relevant external stimuli such as presence of anions or local pH change. The proposal focuses on two main applications, namely aeronautical and automotive. The active LDH treatments can bring significant benefits when applied in these situations. The respective relevant substrates are chosen as the main objects of interest: Mg alloys for both applications; Al alloys for both transportation industries as well; galvanized steel as a main material for automobiles. Moreover the suggested surface treatments, especially the one with active self-healing ability, are also considered for light-weight multi-material structures which are prone to fast galvanically-induced corrosion. The increase of the fault tolerance and reliability of hybrid designs is aimed in this case. The suggested surface treatments can offer possibility for fast implementation of the process at industrial level. The main expected impacts are related to the improvement of the life cycle of the light-weight structures utilized in transport industries via optimization of the maintenance schedules and increasing the fault tolerance.

Projet INAPEM (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Physics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main objective of this Marie Curie RISE action is to improve and exchange interdisciplinary knowledge of materials design by modelling, materials synthesis, characterization, and materials processing for permanent magnet development to be able to provide a critical raw free permanent magnet to the industry. Permanent magnets are indispensable for many commercial and military applications. Major commercial applications include the electric, electronic and automobile industries, communications, information technologies and automatic control engineering. Development and improvement of new technologies based on permanent magnets requires the joint effort of a multidisciplinary researcher collective, involving the expertise of participants on different disciplines including physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering. A consortium with such expertise is put together to undertake an integrative and concerted effort (via knowledge transfer) to provide the fundamental innovations and breakthroughs that are needed to fabricate/implement industrially new phases and microstructures required for the development and application of advanced permanent magnets without the use of critical materials. Results will be widely disseminated through publications, workshops, post-graduate courses to train new researchers, a dedicated webpage, and visits to companies working in the area. In that way, we will perform an important role in technology transfer between the most advanced hard and soft magnetic materials design and characterisation methods for the development of permanent magnets.

Projet GEAGAM (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main objective of this Marie Curie RISE action is to improve and exchange interdisciplinary knowledge on applied mathematics, high performance computing, and geophysics to be able to better simulate and understand the materials composing the Earth's subsurface. This is essential for a variety of applications such as CO2 storage, hydrocarbon extraction, mining, and geothermal energy production, among others. All these problems have in common the need to obtain an accurate characterization of the Earth's subsurface, and to achieve this goal, several complementary areas will be studied, including the mathematical foundations of various high-order Galerkin multiphysics simulation methods, the efficient computer implementation of these methods in large parallel machines and GPUs, and some crucial geophysical aspects such as the design of measurement acquisition systems in different scenarios. Results will be widely disseminated through publications, workshops, post-graduate courses to train new researchers, a dedicated webpage, and visits to companies working in the area. In that way, we will perform an important role in technology transfer between the most advanced numerical methods and mathematics of the moment and the area of applied geophysics.

Projet LIPPS (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main objective of this project is to demonstrate that language-specific grapheme-phoneme correspondences reshape bilinguals’ phonemic space, which has direct consequences for speech production and perception. Moreover, this project will explore fine-grained properties of this recalibration in association with differing levels of bilingualism and language-specific reading proficiency. These goals will be reached by investigating how literacy (i.e., grapheme-phoneme conversion rules) recalibrates language-specific representations of speech sounds (phonemic representations; PRs). I aim to demonstrate that acoustic position and dispersion of PRs in bilingual readers vary depending on a) language-specific orthographic consistency and b) reading proficiency. Populations with differing degrees of bilingualism and reading proficiency will be tested in behavioural and neurophysiological paradigms: The initial stages of bilingualism will be captured by testing Spanish native speakers in a novel phoneme-and-grapheme learning experiment. The advanced stages of bilingualism will be captured by testing Basque-English sequential bilinguals who already built PRs in their second language. Until now, the fields of bilingualism and reading have been studied separately, although the two fields may mutually influence one another. The most innovative aspect of this project is its link between these two formerly unrelated research fields into a new research program, which takes into account the complex interactions between auditory and visual language perception and production in bilingual populations. This project has major implications for models of bilinguals’ language production and perception, which in turn have important implications for education and social policies. Moreover, the project has high relevance for basic research as it is the first to explore long-lasting literacy-induced phonemic recalibration.

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

The main objective of this project is to design stabilized space-time adaptive techniques based on Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) methodology for the simulation of transient Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), with special emphasis on advection-dominated- diffusion and wave propagation problems. The final goal is to apply the resulting methods to improve the seismic imaging of the Earth’s subsurface for CO2-sequestration, a long-term storage process that contributes to fight climate change and mitigate global warming. In many geophysical problems governed by PDEs, it is important to accurately approximate some specific features of the solution. Goal-oriented adaptive techniques in finite element methods are powerful tools to achieve such goals with optimal computational cost. However, due to the unstable nature of the governing equations in geophysical flows, employing stable discretization methods is crucial in these kinds of algorithms. Stabilized methods such as DPG avoid refinements in unnecessary places of the domain. In this project, we will develop methods, algorithms and a software for transient PDEs employing stable time-marching schemes based on DPG method supporting goal-oriented adaptivity. Finally, we will present the obtained results to several European oil and gas companies in order to apply our method in real world scenarios. The host has an extensive experience in geophysical applications and the Third Country (TC) host is one of the inventors of the DPG method. This set up, together with the applicant’s experience in goal-oriented adaptive algorithms for PDEs, gives the applicant the perfect environment to efficiently develop the proposed project. Moreover, the knowledge and experience acquired during the fellowship will make her a potential applicant to obtain a strong research position in Europe. The host and the TC host will also benefit from the resulting advances on the topic and the industrial collaborations derived from this project.

Projet GenHumChild (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main objective of this project is to examine the extent to which “gender”, as category of analysis, can be a useful tool in explaining the nature and the impact of humanitarian aid of western organizations towards children in Europe, between 1980 and 2007, using as case study the relation France (initiator)-Romania (beneficiary). The main objectives are: to identify all the stakeholders involved in the humanitarian aid for children, the targeted problems, if the large framework of intervention to see if formally it addressed these gender particularities; to describe the grassroots activity and the human resources of the humanitarian organisations involved in aiding the children, with a special focus on the motivation(s) that stood behind both the personal and institutional involvement and of there any differences between women and men; a survey on the local impact of each of the major intervention axes, insisting on sensitive issues, such as the accusations of paedophilia and the scandal surrounding international adoptions. This project is at the crossroad of four highly interdisciplinary research areas: Humanitarian aid, gender studies, childhood studies and European Studies and, accordingly, uses specific methodological approaches. The research will benefit from the extensive use of archives and oral testimonies from those that were directly part both of the process of decision, sources that are presently insufficient or unexplored. The research challenges the monolith unity of the Eastern Bloc. By studying the institutional, personal and conceptual relationships, the fellow wants to confront this statement with sources that have not yet been exploited. It will highlight the complexity of transnational humanitarianism towards children, with its undeniable benefits but also the questionable aspects, such as human traffic. This research intends to deliver a “Good Practice Guide” on humanitarian actions towards children Short summary should be given here.

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

The main objective of this project is to investigate fundamental properties of singular integral operators and apply our findings to concrete problems in mathematical physics and engineering. Our approach is to combine newly developed limit operator methods with Riemann-Hilbert analysis. Our plan is divided into three parts. In the first part we develop the limit operator fundamentals. We use the existing limit operator theory and transfer the methods to integral operators. In the second part we combine limit operator theory with Riemann-Hilbert analysis to obtain fundamental properties of Toeplitz operators like boundedness and Fredholmness. We will also use this combination to find double-scaling limits of Toeplitz determinants, which are used, for instance, to understand spontaneous magnetisation in the 2D Ising model. In the third part we will apply our results to concrete integral equations, e.g. the double layer potential. Our ultimate goal will be to resolve a long-standing spectral radius problem. The project combines the expertise of the Applicant (limit operator theory) very well with the expertise of the Supervisor (Riemann-Hilbert analysis) and the Host's analysis group (integral equations, mathematical physics). By combining these fields in a novel approach, this project opens up new research possibilities and greatly contributes to European research excellence in analysis and its applications. The results will be published in high-level journals and presented at international seminars and conferences. A workshop on the proposed topics will be organised at the Host university and a blog will keep everyone updated on the progress. The scientific research is accompanied by teaching, supervising students and workshops on complementary skills. This ensures that the Applicant will become a versatile and mature mathematician by the end of the project, who is capable of leading an international research group and acquiring a permanent position in academia.

Projet CriticalGZ (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Mathematics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main objective of this project is to prove a p-adic Gross-Zagier formula for the critical slope p-adic L-functions attached to p-ordinary modular forms. As we will explain in the main body of this proposal, such a formula will lead, among other things, to a full proof of a conjecture of Perrin-Riou (that gives a precise comparison between p-adic Beilinson-Kato elements and Heegner points). Our approach will rely heavily on the theme of p-adic variation and will consist of three major steps (which, we believe, are independent on their own right): As the first step, we would like to interpolate the Heegner cycles associated to modular forms along Coleman families. This has been carried out for p-ordinary forms by Benjamin Howard (and complemented by the work of Francesc Castella, befitting our goals). The second step is to carry out a construction of the two-variable p-adic L-function for the base change of a Coleman family (over an affinoid A, say) to the suitable imaginary quadratic field. We note here that such a p-adic L-function over the field of rationals has been constructed by Joel Bellaiche. The third and final step is to prove p-adic Gross-Zagier formulae for individual (p-non-ordinary) members of the family. This has been carried out by S. Kobayashi for weight 2 forms; we aim to provide a generalisation of his work to higher weights. Noting that p-adic height pairings readily deform well in families (thanks to the work of Denis Benois, in this context), we aim to prove a A-adic Gross-Zagier formula for the cyclotomic derivative of the base change p-adic L-function. This formula, when specialized to weight 2, will yield the desired formula. In the duration of this fellowship, we also intend to carry out several projects with our long-term collaborator Antonio Lei. We shall provide a brief account for these in the main body of our proposal.
