I propose a project in mathematics on the theory of stochastic processes and their applications. I am particularly interested in the interactions between certain random dynamics and the geometry of the space on which they are defined. The focus will be on three parallel ambitious research directions: (i) Stochastic partial differential equations on fractals, with a focus on the stochastic heat equation and the parabolic Anderson model; (ii) Diffusion methods in sub-Riemannian geometry with a focus on novel notions of curvature bounds; (iii) Random matrices with a focus on its connections with the theory of flag manifolds.

The goal of CARGO-ACT is to deliver a clear roadmap for sustainable global cooperation between key ground-based aerosol, cloud and trace gas research infrastructures, each having invested in infrastructure and services to support their observing networks with a long-term perspective, with a view to consolidating into a sustainable global research infrastructure in the future. There is a strong desire for global integration from the research community, including weather, climate, and air quality monitoring and modelling, and in particular from space agencies, since global networks of ground-based observations are an essential component complementing Earth Observation from space, providing calibration and validation of the remote sensing information collected by current and future satellite missions. The integration of the current ground-based networks, which may have different interests and priorities, requires cooperation and agreements at the global level, including engagement with relevant stakeholders. Their service provision is not limited to data services, but includes access to the measurement facilities, reference instruments, reference standards and laboratories, all of which are topics to be assessed in CARGO-ACT. The specific objectives of CARGO-ACT are to, develop sustainable partnerships and decision making processes with relevant partners, demonstrate the benefits of converging interoperability and standards to stakeholders and the global research community, establish the mechanisms for providing international access to distributed research infrastructures and develop a roadmap for upscaling towards an integrated global research infrastructure for aerosol, cloud and trace gases.

The evolution of the brain deeply transformed the animal kingdom leading to extraordinary animal diversity. Brain evolution and plasticity were necessary for many major evolutionary changes (e.g. terrestrialization of tetrapods, evolution of sociality) as well as developmental changes within an organism's life span (e.g. metamorphosis). In this project, I propose to study the brain remodeling in the mayfly Cloeon dipterum whose biology has the advantage of offering us multiple perspectives and insights on brain plasticity: (i) evolutionary perspective: mayflies are part of the insect lineage in which wings originated. This project will shed light on brain processes controlling wings and flight. (ii) developmental perspective: mayflies are hemimetabolous insects that present a gradual metamorphosis that nonetheless accompanies a major lifestyle transition from an aquatic juvenile form to an aerial winged adult. (iii) sexual dimorphism: the species C. dipterum displays significant sexual dimorphism as males have an extra pair of eyes (turbanate eyes), whose sensory signals need to be processed by the brain. Using a combination of single cell transcriptomics (sc-RNA-seq), in situ hybridisations and drug treatments, this project will yield a gene expression atlas of the brain of C. dipterum separately for both male and female individuals, across multiple points of its life cycle (two nymphal stages and two adult stages). This atlas will give us information on the brain processes necessary for the water to land evolutionary transition, those associated with flight and the acquisition of wings and those underlying the appearance of a new sensory organ - the turbanate eyes - in males, with the data conveniently navigable along annotated chromosomes. This study will also establish C. dipterum as a model for studying hemimetabolous insect brains and provide a reference for future studies.

In the face of an escalating climate crisis, social scientists are confronted with an urgent challenge: How can our research contribute to facilitating the kind of radical economic and political reorganizations necessary for reduced resource use on a global scale? European scholars and activists and are at the vanguard of this research, and many approaches have coalesced around theories of ‘degrowth’ and ‘post-growth’, which envisage the transformations necessary to create a socially just and ecologically sustainable society. However, this is not solely a European challenge – it is a global challenge. People of the Global South have been and continue to be the most impacted by the environmental devastation being wrought by the climate crisis. One of the most pressing challenges is therefore to co-construct these theories and movements with activists and thinkers from the Global South. While some research connecting postgrowth theories with existing environmental justice movements has begun in Latin America and South Asia, almost no research has been conducted in sub-Saharan Africa. This project therefore proposes to work on environmental justice movements in Africa using novel participatory methods that engage African activists and scholars. The overall aim is to develop this research into a novel paradigm (post-growth anthropology) which prioritizes decolonial methods. To contribute to this novel paradigm, ethnographic research will be conducted on environmental movements which have challenged ‘growthism’ and ‘green development’ in urban and rural Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Researchers worldwide have been working to develop a universal flu vaccine, but no breakthrough has yet been achieved. FLUniversal is not "another costly universal flu project". It is an opportunity to create a genuine universal flu vaccine that will set the standard for rapid, efficient vaccine development, and generate know-how and tools to develop next-generation vaccines. We plan to exploit our increased understanding of molecular mechanisms of influenza infection and immunity to develop a vaccine effective against all flu virus strains. Our innovation uses genetically modified flu strains administered intranasally in a prime-boost regimen. This approach rapidly induces interferon and broadly cross-neutralising antibodies in the nasal passages and a systemic immune response directed to the conserved HA stalk. Proof of concept for universal protection was demonstrated in the ferret; we propose now to show proof of concept in humans. Previous clinical studies established safety and immunogenicity in humans. The strains are efficiently produced in Vero cells. FLUniversal's objectives align with the Expected Outcomes: comprehensive immunological assessment of preclinical models, development of a human challenge model, and assisting healthcare stakeholders’ decision-making about support for vaccine development. Consortium members’ world-leading expertise in preclinical models, clinical trials, immunology and validated assays will provide valuable insights on mechanisms of protection. Proposed clinical studies will provide crucial clinical proof of concept to advance the vaccine toward commercialisation.

Enhancing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pollution retention by superabsorbent polymer (SAP) amended to a grass swale prototype of green infrastructure (PFAS-RETENT)

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), referred to as “forever chemicals”, are contaminants of escalating global concern. Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs), known for their high-water retention, offer a potential new approach for enhancing PFAS removal within green stormwater infrastructure (GSI), like grass swales, particularly in the face of climate change-driven weather events in urban environments. This project will focus on evaluating the retention potential of a group of highly mobile, short-chain PFAS, using a biological-based SAP integrated into a grass swale framework (prototype). To accomplish this, these specific working objectives (WOs) will be employed: WO1: evaluation of the retention and release processes of SAP for short-chain PFAS, using batch retention experiments (simple framework); WO2: assessing the efficacy of SAP in removing short-chain PFAS when incorporated into lab-scaled, grass-planted microcosms (simple framework of a grass swale system); WO3: assessing the efficacy of SAP in removing short-chain PFAS, when incorporated into flow-through, grass-planted mesocosms (‘real-world’ framework of a grass swale system). WO2 and WO3 experiments will employ percolation and drought simulations to evaluate SAP retention performance for PFAS during these conditions. The overall methodology will follow a 3-stage stepwise approach that starts with simple designs (batch experiments–WO1, microcosms–WO2) then increase in complexity to nearly real-world scenario (horizontal flow-through mesocosms–WO3). SAP integrated into swale substrates could serve as a temporary “removal” barrier for PFAS during storm runoff, thereby limiting their distribution throughout urban water systems and the water cycle. During drought periods, PFAS trapped in the water-saturated gel phase of the SAP (along with the water) could be taken up by vegetation within the GSI, preventing their release to nearby water bodies and reducing contamination risks to urban water resources.

X-TREME 6G proposal relies on a unique industry led consortium to provide a foundational open microelectronics platform in Europe with the objective to create and design key disruptive next generation chiplets and chipsets for 6G use cases. The idea is to break-up the full potential of best-in-class Silicon BiCMOS, InP and heterogeneous 3D integration for high capacity radio access technologies such as wireless back-hauling at sub-TeraHertz frequencies, Joint Communication And Sensing, Non Terrestrial Networks and Network as a Sensor. New classes of chipsets will unleash the full potential of 6G and enable the emergence of new applications through specific developments for the underpinning novel microelectronic technologies. X-TREME 6G valorizes also resource efficient 6G algorithms and an ML/AI software toolbox for computationally efficient silicon-ready baseband extensions. Part of the SNS “Microelectronic Lighthouse” visionary initiative, the proposal’s ambition is to establish and maintain a sustainable open platform for the duration of the SNS program and beyond, to support 6G verticals. By nurturing the links with the emerging Chips JU pilot lines, the platform acts as a first fabric to accelerate joint initiatives between SNS and Chips JUs. In a nutshell, X-TREME 6G will provide tangible contributions towards an experimentation EU framework for 6G, demonstrating the full benefit of the newly developed chipsets and chiplets for a set of emerging 6G high potential use cases (wireless back-hauling, JCAS, NTN, NaS); while being open to dynamically support the emerging 6G ecosystem (SMEs, Industries, Service Providers, Government etc.) and evaluate additional 6G challenges and expectations. By strengthening and extending the 6G functionality and microelectronics supply chain, X-TREME 6G contributes towards a network-centric democratized and open 6G ecosystem able to release the current hyperscaler’s market embrace, while empowers European Industry at large.

JENNIFER3 aims to continue, further develop and finalize the research and communication activities started in 2015 within the JENNIFER project and currently being carried on by the JENNIFER2 MSCA-RISE project, which will conclude in may 2025. The community forming the JENNIFER3 consortium is putting together three research programs at experimental facilities located in Japan where very rare processes can be observed: accelerator produced neutrinos (T2K and HyperK collaborations), cosmic neutrinos detection (HyperK collaboration) and a high luminosity electron-positron collider (Belle II experiment at SUPERKEKB). Such programs use different approaches, are sensitive to different “messengers” of the new physics world and are essential to complement the so called “energy frontier” investigation which is carried on at the LHC. Sinergy and knowledge sharing among them is the drive force of the JENNIFER3 project, which on one hand fosters the collaboration of European scientists with the Japanese research community, while on the other hand promotes close collaboration among different European research groups around key technologies, such as cloud computing and data network developments, machine learning applications for data filtering and reconstruction, photon detection, solid state detectors, particle beam monitors. Collaboration with private sector technology providers is also essential to reach the scientific objectives of the project. All project members are also committed to disseminate and communicate their work to the scientific community and to the European society through various initiatives aiming to different targets. Cross fertilization between different research communities and approaches is the real added value to boost the project impact, both in terms of scientific results and of researchers’ careers.

Reading acquisition primarily relies on acquiring novel orthographic forms. In this process, efficient decoding of orthographically novel words can be difficult due to the unpredictability of the written-spoken language relationship. Thus, children are forced to develop strategies for effectively acquiring novel words. The main goal of my project is to investigate the compensatory strategies employed by novice readers. I will study two compensatory strategies: one suggests employing a larger processing grain during decoding for better accuracy, based on the Grain Size Theory, while the other recommends using contextual cues to learn despite decoding inaccuracies. Given the predominant focus on English monolinguals in behavioral and computational studies and the central role of language opacity in reading, I will focus on languages with varying degrees of opacity. Additionally, I will also study reading acquisition among bilingual individuals, considering the widespread prevalence of bilingualism in Europe, an area that has been relatively under-explored. In the study of compensation strategies, I identified both computational and behavioral research needs in the literature. Therefore, in this project, I propose a computational study to define a reliable opacity measure. Building on the computational model of reading acquisition I developed during my PhD, I also aim to simulate the Grain Size Theory, and implement a bilingual reading acquisition model to simulate relevant behavioral data. Additionally, I will conduct cross-linguistic behavioral studies on context effects, including both monolingual and bilingual individuals. Cross-linguistic comparisons will help improve the generalizability of findings, addressing an urgent need in the literature. This multidisciplinary approach will also strengthen the links between theoretical cognitive mechanisms and behavioral effects, thereby improving our knowledge of compensation strategies during reading acquisition.
